Salsa Cycles is recalling about 1,700 Salsa Vaya and Salsa La Cruz bicycle forks because the fork can bend above the disc brake mount. There have been eight reports of these forks bending, which can cause a rider to lose control and fall. The recalled forks were sold individually as replacement parts and as original equipment on Salsa Vaya bicycles and framesets between February 2011 and June 2012. Consumers should stop using bicycles equipped with these forks and contact a Salsa dealer for a free inspection, replacement, or a full refund.
The tubular steel fork can bend unexpectedly just above the disc brake mount during use. This structural failure can lead to a sudden loss of control, posing a significant fall hazard to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with the recalled Salsa Vaya and La Cruz bicycle forks and contact a Salsa dealer for a free inspection, replacement fork or a full refund.
