Helvetia Sports has recalled approximately 750 SwissStop EXOTherm cycling disc brake pads because the brake pads can separate from the metal backplate during use. There have been two reports of this separation occurring, though no injuries have been reported. These aftermarket spare parts were sold at various cycling shops nationwide from October 2015 through June 2017 for between $40 and $50. Consumers should immediately stop using these brake pads and return them to the store where they were purchased for a full refund.
If the brake pad material detaches from its metal backplate, the bicycle may lose braking power or experience mechanical failure. This defect creates a significant risk that the rider could lose control and fall.
Consumers should return the recalled brake pads to the store where purchased for full refund.
