Trek has recalled approximately 800 model year 2015-2017 Trek 720 Disc bicycles and 300 Bontrager Approved TLR Disc 700C 24H aftermarket wheels. The recall was initiated because the wheel's spokes can break at the hub or come into contact with the front brake caliper, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall. There have been 10 reported incidents, including one serious injury involving a broken vertebra. These products were sold at bicycle stores nationwide from November 2014 through October 2016.
A broken wheel spoke can strike the front brake caliper while the bike is in motion, potentially causing the front wheel to stop suddenly or causing the rider to lose control. This defect poses a significant fall hazard, which has already resulted in one report of a broken vertebra.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and wheel sets and return the bicycles to a Trek retailer for a free inspection and free replacement wheels.
