BMC is recalling about 1,300 Kaius 01 bicycles and framesets because the fork steerer tube can crack or separate during use. This recall involves Kaius 01 ONE, TWO, THREE, and LTD models equipped with a V5 fork and sold in colors like Peacock Spider, Turquoise/Black, and Stone Grey. BMC has received two reports of forks separating from the frame, which can cause a rider to lose control and fall. Consumers should stop using these bikes immediately and contact an authorized BMC dealer for a free replacement fork.
