Stile Products is recalling about 175 Tern brand folding bicycles, specifically the Eclipse S11i and Verge S11i, X10, X20, and X30h models. The bike's frame can crack at the hinge located on the top tube, which can cause the rider to fall. There have been two reports of the frame hinge cracking, resulting in minor scrapes and bruises. These bicycles were sold at authorized Stile/Tern dealers nationwide from January 2012 to May 2013.
The frame hinge on the top tube can develop cracks during use, which may lead to the frame breaking apart unexpectedly while riding. This poses a significant fall hazard to the rider, as evidenced by two reported incidents of minor injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop riding the bicycle and contact Stile Products or take the bike to an authorized dealer. Consumers will receive a free frame and have it installed at no cost.
