Reason for Recall
The alloy frame used for these bicycles can be prone to fatigue failure. Frame failure results in the separation of the fork, head tube, and handlebar away from the rest of the bike, causing a loss of control and crash, and posing a risk of serious injury to the rider.
Action Taken
Consumers should immediately stop using these bicycles and return them to the nearest REI store for a full refund or credit.
