Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Trek has recalled approximately 2,840 Super Commuter+ 8S electric bicycles from model years 2017, 2018, and 2019. The front fender bolt can unthread, which may cause the front wheel to detach from the bicycle and lead to a crash. Trek has received two reports of incorrect bolts being installed, including one incident resulting in a vertebrae fracture. Affected bikes are Viper Red with black decals and were sold between June 2017 and June 2019 for about $5,200. Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycles and take them to an authorized Trek retailer for a free inspection and repair.

Risk

A bolt used to secure the front fender can come loose, causing the front wheel to unexpectedly detach while the bicycle is in motion. This can lead to a sudden loss of control and a fall, which has already caused at least one serious back injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify if you have an affected bicycle by checking the model name 'Super Commuter+ 8S' and 'Trek' printed on the downtube of the Viper Red frame with black decals.
  2. Verify your bike is a model year 2017, 2018, or 2019 and within sizes 45/S through 60/XL.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled bicycle to prevent the risk of a fall or injury.
  4. Take the bicycle to any Trek retailer for a free inspection and repair of the front fender mounting hardware.
