Brompton is recalling about 2,230 foldable electric bicycles because the front mudguard is positioned too close to the wheel. If an object gets caught between the tire and the mudguard, the front wheel can lock up, causing the bike to decelerate suddenly and crash. This recall affects Brompton Electric models M2L, H2L, M6L, and H6L sold between May 2019 and March 2022 for between $3,500 and $3,800. Consumers should immediately stop using these bikes and contact an authorized Brompton dealer for a free repair that replaces the mudguard stay and flap to increase clearance.
The mudguard's close proximity to the front wheel creates a risk where debris can jam the tire, leading to immediate wheel lock-up. The firm has received 10 reports of crashes, including nine injuries involving broken bones, head and facial impacts, shoulder dislocations, and two hospitalizations.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Brompton dealer for a free repair, which replaces the front mudguard stay and flap and increases the clearance between the mudguard and tire.
"Brompton" is printed on the center tube of the bike's frame; model name is printed on the name plate affixed to the bottom of the seat-post.
