Look Cycle Recalls Aerostems and Road Bikes Due to Fall, Crash Hazards

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Look Cycle is recalling about 800 Aerostems and road bikes because the stainless steel clamp that secures the stem to the handlebars can corrode and break. This recall affects Aerostems sold individually and those pre-installed on Look Cycle model 695 and 795 road bikes from model years 2014 through 2017. These components were sold at independent bike stores nationwide between July 2013 and December 2016. The company has received one report of a clamp breaking, and while no injuries have been reported, consumers should stop using affected bicycles immediately to receive a free repair.

Risk

The internal stainless steel clamp can corrode over time and suddenly snap during use. If the clamp fails while riding, the handlebars can become loose or detached, causing the rider to lose control and suffer a fall or crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using any bicycle equipped with the recalled Look Cycle Aerostem.
  2. Check the bottom of the black steel clamp that surrounds the handlebars; recalled units have either no number or the number 380706 printed in white on the bottom.
  3. Verify if your bike is a Look Cycle model 695 or 795 road racing bicycle from model years 2014, 2015, 2016, or 2017, as these were frequently sold with the recalled stem installed.
  4. Return the bicycle or the individual Aerostem to the place of purchase for a free repair. If you cannot return it to the original store, contact Look Cycle at 800-822-1980 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or email aerostemrecall@hawleylambert.com for instructions on receiving your free repair.
  5. Visit www.lookcycle.com and click on the 'Safety Notice' tab for more information and photos to help identify affected models.
  6. Contact the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this recall.
