Description
This recall involves model year 2013 through 2016 Cannondale CAADX Cyclocross bicycles equipped with disc brakes. Cyclocross racing combines both off-road and on-road cycling. The bicycles were sold in a variety of colors and configurations. Consumers should inspect their bicycle to determine if it is affected by this recall by confirming: (1) The bicycle has a prominent CAADX marking on the top tube or other location. (2) The bicycle has disc brakes. (3) The inside of the fork leg has a large "ULTRAX" marking. (4) The cable running to the front disc brake is outside of the fork, as opposed to inside the fork. For assistance determining if a bicycle is affected, consumers should bring it to a Cannondale authorized dealer.

The fork can break, posing a fall hazard with the risk of death and serious injury.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle and take it to the nearest authorized Cannondale dealer for a free repair. Cannondale dealers will replace, free of cost, the bicycle's fork with a full carbon fiber replacement fork.
