Faraday is recalling approximately 4,450 seat posts used on their Porteur, Porteur S, Cortland, and Cortland S electric bicycle models. The seat post can break during use, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall. Faraday has received nine reports of the seat posts breaking, including one report of a minor injury. The affected bicycles were sold in various colors including Classic White, British Racing Green, Tungsten, Slate Gray, Midnight Run, Stingray Blue, Seafoam, and Coral between March 2015 and March 2019.
The structural integrity of the seat post is insufficient, causing it to snap or break while the bicycle is being ridden. This sudden failure can cause the rider to unexpectedly fall from the moving bike, leading to potential injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bikes and contact Faraday for information on how to receive a free seat post replacement and free installation at a specialty bicycle retailer. Faraday is contacting all known purchasers directly. Consumers should not replace the seat post themselves. They should take their recalled bicycles to a specialty bicycle retailer for proper placement and fit of the replacement seat post.
