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.
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.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle and take it to a Trek retailer for a free inspection and repair.
