Rocky Mountain is recalling approximately 17,300 bicycles with front disc brakes from model years 2003 through 2016. The front wheel’s quick-release lever can open too far and get caught in the front disc brake rotor while riding. These bicycles were sold nationwide and online at various retailers including Bikes.com, Eastern Mountain Sports, and Performance Bike from May 2002 through April 2016 for between $250 and $15,000. Owners can get a free replacement quick-release lever installed at any authorized retailer.
If the quick-release lever opens and contacts the disc brake rotor, the front wheel can suddenly lock up or detach from the frame. This can cause the rider to lose control and crash, posing a significant risk of serious injury.
Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact an authorized Rocky Mountain retailer for free installation of a new quick release on the front wheel.
