Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Surly Bikes is recalling about 975 Pugsley bicycle forks because they can bend above the disc brake mount. If the fork bends while riding, it can cause the rider to lose control and fall. The recall includes black 100mm forks and black, yellow, or red 135mm forks sold individually or on 2013 model year Surly Pugsley bicycles between May 2012 and February 2013. Surly has received one report of a fork bending, though no injuries have been reported yet. Consumers should stop using bicycles with these forks and contact a Surly dealer for a free inspection and replacement or a full refund.

Risk

The fork can unexpectedly bend near the disc brake mount during use, which may cause the rider to lose control of the bicycle and fall.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bicycle frame for the 'Pugsley' name and look for the 'Surly' brand name printed on both legs of the fork.
  2. For 100mm forks (black with triple water bottle mounts), inspect the steerer tube for date code 2012 03 20.
  3. For 135mm forks (black, yellow, or red), inspect the steerer tube for date code 2012 06 19.
  4. If you bought a fork individually, check the packaging for model numbers FK3175, FK3181, or FK0706; if you bought a complete bike, check the packaging for models FM3110-3114, FM3175-79, BK3110-14, or BK3175-79.
  5. Immediately stop riding any bicycle equipped with an affected fork and contact an authorized Surly dealer to arrange for a free inspection and a replacement fork or a full refund.
