SRAM is recalling approximately 1,700 SRAM RED WiFLi Rear Derailleurs sold nationwide. The rear pivot pin on these derailleurs can loosen or fall out, which may cause the device to jam or get caught in the bicycle wheel. SRAM has received 43 reports of incidents, including one report of a rider suffering scrapes and bruises. These components were sold individually for about $380 or as original equipment on high-end bicycles between September 2012 and November 2013.
The rear pivot pin can dislodge during use, causing the derailleur to jam into the wheel spokes. This can lead to an abrupt stop or loss of control, posing a significant fall hazard to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled SRAM RED derailleurs and return the bicycles to the place of purchase or any SRAM dealer for a free replacement, including installation. Consumers who bought the derailleurs as a stand-alone product can take them to the place of purchase for a free replacement or, for those who can make the equipment change themselves, contact SRAM for instructions on how to return the recalled product for the free replacement.
