Description
This recall involves Oro disk brakes typically installed on mountain bikes. The brake is operated by a hand lever, which is mounted to the handlebar. Included in the recall are the Oro K18, Oro K24, Oro Puro and Oro Bianco models with serial numbers less than 295237. The serial number can be located on the brake's body above the "Made in Italy" label.
Hazard
The brake's hand lever can separate, resulting in loss of braking. This can cause the rider to lose control of the bicycle, posing a risk of injury to riders.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using bicycles equipped with the recalled brakes and contact any Formula Brake dealer to receive a free repair.
Incidents and injuries
Formula Brake USA has received six reports of hand levers detaching. No injuries have been reported.
