SCOTT is recalling approximately 2,000 model year 2014 men's and women's road bicycles, including the Speedster 30, Speedster 40, Contessa Speedster 25, and Contessa Speedster 35 models. The recall was initiated because the steerer tube in the front fork can break during use, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall. These bicycles were sold in black and white with various color accents at authorized SCOTT dealers nationwide and online between August 2013 and May 2014. One incident of a fork breaking has been reported, though no injuries have occurred. Consumers with an affected bicycle will receive a free replacement fork and installation.
The front fork's steerer tube can fail and break while the bicycle is being ridden, potentially causing the handlebars to detach or the front wheel to become unstable, leading to a fall and serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the bicycle and take it to an authorized SCOTT dealer. Consumers with a recalled bicycle will receive a free replacement fork and have it installed at no cost.
