Focus Bicycles is recalling about 80 of its 2016 Focus Spine mountain bicycles because the frame can collapse during use. Component parts called the seatstay or linkage, which connect the seat tube to the rear axle, may be incorrectly sized, leading to structural failure. One incident has been reported in Switzerland, though no injuries have occurred in the United States. These high-end mountain bikes were sold at specialty stores nationwide between October 2015 and April 2016 for prices ranging from $4,000 to $8,000. Consumers should stop riding these bicycles immediately and contact the manufacturer for a free repair.
The incorrectly sized linkage and seatstay components can cause the bicycle frame to suddenly collapse while being ridden, which can throw the rider from the bike and cause serious fall injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Focus Bicycles to schedule a free inspection and repair.
