Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop riding any bicycle equipped with the recalled Magura MT 6 or MT 8 hydraulic disc brakes.
  2. Identify your brake model by looking at the master cylinder on the handlebars for the Magura logo and letters 'MT' and checking the brake lever for the word 'Six' (MT 6) or 'Eight' (MT 8).
  3. Check the brake caliper (the part attached to the wheel) for a 5-digit date code in Y/MM/DD format; affected codes are between 10301 (March 1, 2011) and 20531 (May 31, 2012).
  4. If your MT 6 or MT 8 brakes have no date code at all, they are also included in this recall.
  5. Contact Magura USA at 800-448-3876 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.maguradirect.com and click on 'Recall Information' to arrange for a free repair.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 for additional questions regarding this safety recall.
