Reason for Recall
The disc brakes on these bicycles can stick and prevent the brake pads from returning to the proper position, when the brake lever is released. This can cause the rider to lose control and crash.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop riding these bicycles immediately, and return them to their dealer for free replacement of the front and rear brake calipers.
