Cannondale is recalling about 660 of its Model Year 2021 through 2023 Dave 26-inch bicycles and framesets because the weld connecting the headtube and downtube can fail and separate from the frame. This defect poses serious fall and injury hazards to riders. The company has received two reports of the bicycle headtube separating from the frame, though no injuries have been reported. These bikes were sold in deep teal and stealth gray colors at bicycle stores nationwide and online at Cannondale.com from June 2021 through September 2023.
The weld between the bicycle's headtube and downtube can become damaged and separate entirely from the frame. If this separation happens while the bike is in motion, the rider could lose control and fall, resulting in potentially severe injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Cannondale dealer for a free replacement frame.
Affected bikes have 'Dave' printed on the top-tube and 'Cannondale' on the downtube. Includes framesets sold separately.
