Approximately 8,400 Brompton folding bicycles are being recalled because a component called the bottom bracket can break during use. This recall affects bikes manufactured between April 2014 and May 2017 that were sold at specialty bicycle stores and Brompton dealers nationwide. If you have an affected bike, you should immediately stop riding it and take it to an authorized dealer to have a new bottom bracket cartridge installed for free.
The bicycle's bottom bracket can break suddenly while the bike is in motion, causing the rider to lose control and fall. Although no injuries have been reported yet, the failure of this critical structural component poses a significant danger to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Brompton dealer for free installation of a new bottom bracket cartridge.
