Norco is recalling about 90 Havoc 24-inch and 26-inch bicycles from the 2011 model year because the bicycle frame can crack at the joint where the top tube meets the down tube. The firm has received three reports of these frames cracking, which could cause the bike to separate while in use. These bicycles were sold at authorized Norco dealers nationwide from November 2010 to September 2011 for approximately $600. Consumers should immediately stop using these bikes and return them to an authorized Norco dealer for a free replacement.
A cracked frame can separate while riding, causing the consumer to lose control of the bicycle and fall, posing a serious risk of injury or death. Three incidents of frame cracking have been reported, though no injuries have occurred yet.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bike and return it an authorized Norco dealer for a replacement.
