Diamondback Bicycles is recalling about 40 of its 2013 Steilacoom RCX bicycles because they were assembled with incorrect headset parts. This defect can cause the steerer tube to fail, leading the rider to lose control and potentially crash or fall. These black on-road and off-road bicycles were sold in sizes 50-cm through 59-cm between August 2012 and September 2012. Owners should stop using these bikes and take them to an authorized dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The incorrect headset parts can cause the bike's steerer tube to break during use. If this occurs, the rider will lose control of the steering, which can result in a serious crash or fall.
Consumers should stop riding their bicycle and take it to an authorized Diamondback dealer to have it inspected. Bicycles found to have the incorrect headset parts will have the fork replaced and assembled with the correct headset parts at no charge.
