Chromag is recalling approximately 100 bicycle stems, including models BZA, Director, HiFi, and Ranger, because the clamping bolts can break. There have been three reports of these bolts breaking, which can cause the handlebars or fork to become loose while riding, though no injuries have been reported. The affected stems were sold separately in various colors including black, red, blue, gold, purple, and silver. Consumers should stop using bicycles with these stems and contact Chromag for free replacement bolts.
The clamping bolts that secure the stem to the bicycle's fork or handlebars can snap during use. If these bolts fail, the rider can lose control of the steering, leading to a fall and serious physical injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled stems and contact Chromag for free replacement bolts for the stem.
