Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Box Components is recalling about 4,100 carbon fiber BMX bicycle forks because the steer tube can become loose in the crown of the fork. This defect has been reported 242 times, which can lead to a sudden loss of control and a fall. The recalled forks were sold in black with 'BOX' printed in white and were available at independent bike shops and online at Danscomp and JR Bicycles between July 2013 and April 2015. Consumers should immediately stop using these forks and contact Box Components for a free replacement.

Risk

The steer tube can detach or loosen within the fork crown, causing the rider to lose control of the steering. This creates a fall hazard that can result in serious physical injury, as evidenced by 242 reports of loosened tubes.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your bicycle fork by checking for the word 'BOX' printed in white on the side of the black carbon fiber fork.
  2. Check the front face of the fork crown for one of the following model numbers: XE 20-inch 10mm, XE 24-inch 10mm, XL 20-inch 10mm, XL 24-inch 10mm, or XS 20-inch 10mm.
  3. Locate the six-digit serial number printed above the fork crown and verify if it matches one of these affected codes: 140508, 140606, or 140702.
  4. If your fork is affected, immediately stop using the bicycle and do not ride it until the fork has been replaced.
  5. Contact Box Components toll-free at 888-279-9691 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.boxcomponents.com and click on 'Recall' to arrange for a free replacement bicycle fork.
