DT Swiss is recalling about 6,000 carbon fiber road wheels because the outermost carbon layer can separate around the rim flange, compromising the wheel's structural integrity. This recall involves multiple model lines including the ERC, CRC, HEC, and ARC series sold both as standalone upgrades and as original equipment on high-end bicycle brands between September 2024 and July 2025. While no injuries have been reported, the firm has received six reports of the carbon layer separating during use. Consumers should stop using the recalled wheels and contact DT Swiss for a free replacement.
The defect allows the carbon layers of the wheel rim to separate, which can cause the wheel to fail unexpectedly. This posing a crash hazard that could lead to serious injury or death for the rider.
Consumers should stop using the recalled wheels and contact DT Swiss to coordinate a replacement. Consumers should register the recalled wheels with DT Swiss at www.dtswiss.com/recall.
The DT Swiss ID code and the model code are located on the wheel rim on a small label located on the outside of the rim.
