Magura USA is recalling approximately 2,800 Magura MT 6 and MT 8 hydraulic disc brakes because the brakes can fail when used in low temperatures. These high-performance brake systems, which were sold at bicycle retailers and distributors nationwide between January 2011 and March 2013, can lose stopping power and lead to a crash. While no injuries have been reported yet, consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with these brakes and contact Magura USA for a free repair. The MT 6 model is black and silver, while the MT 8 model is black and red.
Exposure to cold temperatures can cause the hydraulic system to fail, preventing the brakes from engaging properly. This sudden loss of braking power can lead to a collision, posing a significant risk of serious injury to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop riding bicycles equipped with the recalled brakes and contact Magura USA for a free repair.
