Fox Factory is recalling about 6,100 FLOAT X2 mountain bike rear shock absorbers (plus an additional 1,200 sold in Canada). These shocks were sold individually and installed as original equipment on high-end full-suspension mountain bikes from 16 different brands, including Trek, Giant, and Specialized. The recall was initiated because the shock's outer sleeve can rupture during use. There have been seven reports of these sleeves rupturing, though no injuries have been reported to date. Consumers should stop using bikes equipped with these shocks immediately and return them for a free repair.
The rear shock absorber's outer sleeve can suddenly burst or rupture while riding. This allows the broken sleeve to strike the rider or jam against other bicycle parts, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled rear shock absorbers and return them to the place of purchase for a free repair. Consumers unable to return their bicycles should contact Fox for instructions on receiving a free repair.
