PNW Components is recalling about 1,200 Loam Pedal Gen 2 aluminum alloy mountain bike pedals because the pedal axle can crack and detach from the bike. The firm has received four reports of these axles cracking or detaching, which can cause a rider to lose control and fall. These platform-style pedals were sold in black, silver, green, orange, and purple at retailers like REI, Backcountry, and PNWComponents.com between June and November 2025.
The internal pedal axle can suddenly fracture during use, causing the entire pedal body to separate from the bicycle's crank arm. This creates an immediate loss of footing and balance for the rider, posing a significant fall and crash hazard.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Loam Pedal Gen 2 and contact PNW Components to receive free replacement axles once they become available. In the interim PNW Components is providing consumers with the Range Pedal, free of charge. PNW Components will follow up with consumers regarding the replacement axle system, estimated to begin shipping out to customers on January 5, 2026.
Identified by a 'Tectonic' logo laser etched onto the pedal body on the left corner, on the same side as the threaded axle.
