SRAM is recalling about 61,300 of its 12-speed shift brake levers because the clamp bolt can loosen. If this happens, the rider may lose control of the brakes or the bike, posing a crash risk. The affected levers were sold as upgrade or replacement kits under the Apex AXS, Rival eTap AXS, Red eTap AXS, and Force eTap AXS model names. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date. Consumers should stop using the bikes and check their levers for tightness; SRAM retailers will provide free inspections and repairs.
The clamp bolt that secures the brake lever to the handlebar can come loose. This allows the lever to rotate or move unexpectedly, which can prevent the rider from slowing or stopping the bicycle, leading to a loss of control and a crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled SRAM shift brake levers and inspect their levers for tightness. If the shift brake lever rotates or is loose, the consumer will be offered a free brake installation inspection at an authorized SRAM retailer. If the brake installation is loose at the dealer inspection, the clamp bolt assembly will be tightened or replaced at no charge to the consumer.
Sold separately as upgrade or replacement kits. This recall involves all 12-speed versions of the listed models.
