Britax has recalled about 200 modified thru-bolt axles (model S11393700) provided for use with BOB Jogging Strollers manufactured between January 2009 and September 2015. These replacement axles were distributed free of charge through the BOB Information Campaign between January and April 2019. The front wheel axle can fracture during use, causing the wheel to detach and posing a serious fall risk. Britax has received eight reports of the axles fracturing, though no injuries have been reported, and is providing free replacements to all affected owners.
The front wheel axle can break or fracture while the stroller is in motion, which can cause the front wheel to fall off suddenly. This can cause the stroller to tip over, leading to serious fall and impact injuries for children in the stroller and the person pushing it.
Consumers should immediately stop using the modified thru-bolt axle installed on the front wheel of their BOB jogging stroller. Britax is contacting consumers directly who received the modified thru-bolt axles and providing them with a free replacement thru-bolt axle. Those consumers may also contact Britax for a free replacement thru-bolt axle. Consumers who have participated in the BOB Information Campaign, and have already been contacted by Britax, will automatically receive a replacement thru-bolt.
