Cane Creek is recalling about 5,000 DBINLINE bicycle rear shock absorbers because the adjustment markings for high-speed rebound damping are printed backwards. These black anodized aluminum shocks were sold individually and pre-installed on various 2015 model year full-suspension mountain bikes from brands including Specialized, Ibis, Intense, and Norco. Cane Creek has received four complaints, including one report of an injury involving midsection bruising. Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with these shocks and contact the company for a free repair decal kit to correct the labels.
The graphics on the shock incorrectly identify which direction to turn the adjuster to increase or decrease rebound speed. If a rider follows these incorrect markings, the bike's suspension will behave unexpectedly, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall.
Consumers should immediately stop using the product and contact Cane Creek for a repair decal kit to correct the HSR adjustment markings on affected product.
