GT is recalling approximately 3,040 LaBomba bicycles and framesets from model years 2019 through 2023. The weld connecting the bicycle's headtube and downtube can become damaged and fail, causing the headtube to separate from the frame. This recall includes LaBomba 24", 26", Pro, and Rigid models sold in various colors like sea green, purple, and red at bicycle stores nationwide for between $400 and $1,450. Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycles and contact an authorized GT dealer for a free replacement frame.
The weld on the frame can fail and separate, causing the front of the bike to detach. This poses a significant fall and injury hazard to the rider. The manufacturer has received five reports of the frame separating, though no injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized GT dealer for a free replacement frame.
The model name LaBomba is printed on the top-tube; GT is printed on the downtube.
