BMC has recalled about 160 Alpenchallenge, Urbanchallenge, and Masschallenge bicycles equipped with full carbon Aprebic bike forks. The bicycle forks can crack or break during use, which can lead to a sudden loss of control. The affected models include the 2012-2013 Alpenchallenge AC01 (105 Tiagra and Rival), the 2012-2013 Urbanchallenge UC01 Alfine 11, and the 2012 Masschallenge MC01 Team. These bicycles were sold in black and yellow or black and red color combinations at authorized BMC dealers nationwide between December 2011 and June 2013. BMC is providing free replacement forks through authorized dealers.
The bicycle's front carbon fork can crack or break above the brake mount, causing the rider to lose control and fall. While no injuries have been reported, a fork failure during operation poses a significant risk of serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using these recalled bicycles immediately and contact their local BMC authorized dealer for instructions on receiving a replacement fork.
