SRAM is recalling about 12,000 Zipp 88 aluminum bicycle wheel hubs because the hub's front flange ring can fail. This defect can cause the front wheel to collapse, leading to a crash. There have been two reports of wheel collapses resulting in injuries including stitches, bruises, lacerations, and a concussion. The recalled hubs were sold individually, in wheel sets, and as original equipment on several high-end bicycle brands including Specialized, Giant, Felt, Orbea, and Cannondale between October 2008 and December 2010.
The front hub's outer flange ring can crack or fail during use, causing the front wheel to collapse unexpectedly. This loss of structural integrity can result in the rider losing control and crashing, posing a risk of serious impact injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with the recalled Zipp 88 front hub and contact SRAM for a free replacement hub.
