Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

SRAM is recalling approximately 6,400 Zipp stainless steel and titanium quick releases sold as aftermarket parts and on several Zipp wheel sets. The quick releases can fail to stay locked in the closed position, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash. While three incidents of the quick release failing have been reported, no injuries have been documented. Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with these parts and contact SRAM or a local dealer for a free replacement.

Risk

The mechanism can fail to properly engage when closed, potentially allowing the bicycle wheel to become loose or detached during operation. This failure can lead to a sudden loss of control, posing a significant risk of crashes and serious physical injury to the rider.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using any bicycles equipped with Zipp stainless steel or titanium quick releases that have a curved, black lever with 'Zipp' printed on it.
  2. Check the underside of the black lever, specifically the center area below the Zipp logo. If there is no marking or logo at the center of the underside, the quick release is included in this recall.
  3. Identify if your quick release came as part of the following wheel sets: 202 DB V2, 303 DB V2, 404 Firestrike V2, 202 Firecrest V3, 303 Firecrest V3, 404 Firecrest V3, 808 Firecrest V3, or 808 NSW.
  4. Contact SRAM at 800-346-2928 from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. ET Monday through Thursday and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on Fridays, or visit www.sram.com or www.zipp.com and click on 'Recall Notice' for instructions on receiving a free replacement.
  5. Take your bicycle to a local authorized bicycle dealer to facilitate the free replacement of the recalled quick release.
  6. Call the CPSC Hotline at 800-638-2772 if you have additional questions regarding this recall.
