VanMoof has recalled about 375 B-Series and S-Series commuter-style bicycles manufactured between 2014 and 2016. The front fender bolts on these bikes can fail to break if an object gets stuck between the tire and the fender, which can cause the wheel to lock up. There have been two reports of riders being injured when road objects caused such obstructions, resulting in injuries including a broken arm and a concussion. VanMoof is providing free replacement nylon bolts that are designed to break away safely in these situations.
The stainless steel front fender bolts do not break as intended when road debris becomes lodged between the tire and the mudguard, causing the bicycle to stop suddenly and potentially throwing the rider from the bike.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact VanMoof to receive free replacement nylon bolts for the front fender and installation instruction The repair can be completed by the consumer without assistance.
