Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Marin Mountain Bikes is recalling about 370 of its 2016 Pine Mountain 1 and 2017 Pine Mountain bicycles. The rigid front forks on these bikes can bend or break during normal use or while jumping, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash. The firm has received four reports of bent forks, although no injuries have been reported yet. These bicycles were sold in a silver and orange color scheme at independent bicycle stores nationwide between December 2015 and February 2017.

Risk

The front forks are prone to bending or snapping during riding or jumping. If the fork fails, the rider may lose steering control, leading to a fall or crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the frame of your bicycle to see if it is a silver-painted 2016 Pine Mountain 1 or 2017 Pine Mountain model with an orange-painted fork.
  2. Verify the model name 'Pine Mountain 1' or 'Pine Mountain' printed on the top tube of the frame and look for a 'MARIN' decal on the downtube.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled mountain bike.
  4. Contact Marin Mountain Bikes at 800-222-7557 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday to receive instructions on getting a replacement fork and scheduling a free repair.
