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.
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.
Consumers should immediately stop using any bicycles equipped with the recalled quick releases and contact SRAM or their local bicycle dealer for a free replacement quick release.
