SCOTT is recalling approximately 1,400 model year 2016 men's and women's road bicycles because the SYNCROS FL 1.0 carbon seat post can break while in use. There have been 11 reports of these seat posts breaking outside of the United States. These bicycles were sold in various colors including black, gray, and white with yellow, orange, green, or blue decals at authorized SCOTT dealers and online from June 2015 through March 2016. Affected consumers can receive a free replacement seat post from an authorized dealer.
The carbon seat post can unexpectedly break during a ride, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall, potentially leading to serious injury. While no injuries have been reported to date, 11 instances of seat post failure have occurred internationally.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the recalled bicycles and return them to an authorized SCOTT dealer to have a free replacement seat post installed.
