Felt Bicycles is recalling about 200 of its Felt Deep Six and El Guapo model cruiser bicycles because the brakes can fail during use. This defect poses a serious crash hazard to the rider. The company has received 26 reports of incidents with these bicycles, though no injuries have been reported so far. These single-speed beach cruisers were sold at bicycle specialty stores nationwide between June 2014 and March 2015.
The bicycle's rear coaster brake can fail to engage or operate correctly, preventing the rider from stopping. This can lead to a loss of control and a crash, as evidenced by 26 reported incidents of brake failure.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact your local Felt bicycle dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the rear hub cog/driver.
