Yuba Bicycles is recalling about 1,000 Mundo V4 cargo bikes because passengers' feet can get caught in the rear wheel, which may cause serious injury. The recalled 26-inch bikes have steel frames and were sold in orange, black, or blue at bicycle dealers and online between May 2011 and December 2012. Yuba Bicycles has received two reports of passengers' feet getting caught in the wheel, though no injuries have been reported yet. Consumers should stop using the bikes for passengers until they receive the free wheel cover repair.
A passenger's foot can become entangled in the rotating spokes of the rear wheel while the bike is in motion, leading to potential bone fractures or other foot injuries.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled cargo bikes and contact Yuba Bicycles to receive free wheel covers/wheelskirts and have them installed at no cost.
