Approximately 7,000 SRAM i-Motion 3 three-speed internal gear hubs (coaster brake version) are being recalled because the brakes can fail during use. This recall affects hubs installed on several Electra bicycle models, including the Cruiser Custom 3i, Coaster 3i, Hawaii 3i, Hawaii 3i 24, and Straight 8, as well as hubs sold individually as aftermarket parts. SRAM has received five reports of brake failure, including one report of a minor injury. Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with these hubs and contact SRAM for a partial refund.
The internal braking mechanism in the gear hub can fail, preventing the rider from stopping the bicycle. This poses a significant crash hazard that can result in serious injury or death, especially on bicycles with no secondary braking system.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled gear hubs and contact SRAM for instructions on how to receive a partial refund.
