Marin Mountain Bikes is recalling approximately 2,100 of their 2021 model year bicycles because the bottom bracket can break during use. Affected models include popular versions like the San Quentin, Wildcat Trail, and Muirwoods RC, sold at independent bike dealers and stores like Bike Connection Palo Alto and City Grounds between August 2020 and April 2021. Consumers should immediately stop using these bikes and contact Marin Bikes for a free replacement bottom bracket and professional repair.
The bicycle's bottom bracket can snap or fail while riding, which causes the cyclist to lose control and potentially crash. Nine reports of broken bottom brackets have been documented, though no injuries have occurred yet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact Marin Bikes for instructions on receiving a free replacement bottom bracket and scheduling a free repair.
