Cycling Sports Group is recalling about 23,000 Cannondale mountain bicycles because the OPI stem/steering tube assemblies can fail unexpectedly. The recall includes model year 2011 through 2015 Flash, FSi, F-4, F-5, F-29, Lexi, RZ, Scalpel, and Trigger models sold nationwide between July 2010 and July 2015. Consumers should stop using these bicycles and take them to an authorized dealer for a free repair involving a reinforcement wedge and new clamp bolts.
The steering tube assembly can break during use, causing the handlebars to detach or the rider to lose control, leading to a fall and potential injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle and take it to the nearest authorized Cannondale dealer for a free repair. Cannondale dealers will fit a locking reinforcement wedge assembly inside the OPI stem/steering tube and replace the clamp bolts.
