This recall involves approximately 470 Focus Izalco Max bicycles from the 2014 and 2015 model years equipped with Acros-brand upper headsets. The headset design can cause the carbon-fiber fork steer tube to crack, which may lead to the fork failing during use. Focus Bicycles has received 11 reports of incidents outside the United States, including one injury reported in France, though no incidents have occurred in the U.S. Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycles and contact Focus Bicycles for a free repair.
The headset assembly can put undue stress on the carbon-fiber fork steer tube, causing it to crack and potentially break. If the fork tube fails while riding, the rider can lose control of the bicycle and fall, leading to serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Focus Bicycles to schedule a free repair.
