Approximately 1.3 million bicycles across 17 different brands from 13 manufacturers are being recalled because they are equipped with a specific front quick-release lever and disc brake combination. If the front quick-release lever is left open, it can strike the disc brake rotor, causing the front wheel to stop suddenly or detach from the bike. Three incidents have been reported, including one where a rider suffered a broken finger, wrist injury, shoulder injury, and abrasions. These bicycles were sold at bike stores nationwide between 1998 and 2015 for prices ranging from $200 to $10,000.
The quick-release lever on the front wheel can interfere with the disc brake rotor while the bike is in motion. This contact can cause the wheel to jam or separate from the frame entirely, leading to an immediate crash and serious injury to the rider.
Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately and contact the recalling company for free installation of a new quick release on the front wheel.
