Summary

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.

Risk
