Description
This recall involves the Reynolds UL bicycle fork models with 43 mm and 50 mm rakes and with serial numbers 09100 through 10403. The serial number decal is located on the steer tube. To see the serial number, the fork must be removed from the frame. Some recalled forks are black, have "Reynolds" printed on them, and have a gray and white stripe painted on the legs of the fork. Other recalled forks were painted with a different paint scheme and do not have "Reynolds" printed on them. To determine if a fork is included in this recall, consumers should contact the company.
Hazard
The fork tips could separate from the fork legs, causing the wheel to come loose from the fork while riding. This could pose a serious fall hazard to riders.
Remedy
Consumers should stop using the bicycles equipped with the recalled forks immediately and contact Reynolds for a free replacement fork.
Incidents and injuries
None reported.
