BMC is recalling approximately 430 Timemachine 01 bicycles and framesets from model years 2017 and 2018. These high-end road bikes, designed for triathlons and time trials, have a design defect where there is insufficient space between the front wheel and the frame. There have been four reports of fall incidents in the United States, including one report of a consumer suffering a broken finger. BMC is offering a free inspection and a replacement fork to resolve the issue.
Variations in tire size, pressure, and rider weight can cause the front wheel to rub or jam against the bicycle's downtube. This unexpected contact can stop the wheel's rotation or affect steering, causing the rider to lose control and fall.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the recalled bikes and contact their local BMC authorized dealer for a free inspection and, if needed, a free replacement fork. Until the replacement forks are available in September/October 2018, the firm is providing consumers with a free 23C replacement tire, if needed, to ensure adequate clearance.
