Summary

Trek has recalled approximately 68,000 Trek and Electra-branded bicycles and replacement rear wheels because the coaster brakes can fail to engage. If the brakes do not work, the rider can lose control, posing a significant crash hazard. No incidents or injuries have been reported, but consumers should immediately stop using the bicycles and contact a dealer for a free repair. These items were sold nationwide at Trek and Electra authorized retailers from August 2023 to September 2025.

Risk
