Tektro USA and TRP have recalled about 2,000 Spyre and Spyre SLC dual-piston mechanical disc brake calipers sold as original and aftermarket equipment. The recall was initiated because the brake cable actuator arm can over-rotate and dislocate parts, leading to complete brake failure. One report of a caliper failing in this manner has been received. These components were sold between April and December 2013, both individually and on bicycles from various manufacturers including Giant, Kona, and Marin. Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with these calipers and return them for a free improved replacement.
A mechanical defect allows the actuator arm to over-rotate, which can cause the internal components to dislocate and the brakes to fail completely. This failure causes the rider to lose control of the bicycle, posing a significant risk of a crash and serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop riding bikes equipped with the recalled brake calipers and return the calipers to the original place of purchase or Tektro USA/TRP for a free replacement with an improved version.
