The dealer will replace the original black rear wheel bolts with new silver rear wheel bolts. Consumers can locate their nearest dealer at https://www.trekbikes.com./us/en_US/store-finder/.
The hazard
The rear wheel bolts can break when torqued, causing the wheel to separate from the bicycle and posing a fall hazard. The firm has received seven reports of the rear wheel bolts breaking on affected bicycles. No injuries have been reported.
Context
GovInfoNow's records show Trek has faced other recent safety issues, including a Dec. 11, 2025, recall for chainring fall hazards and a Nov. 13, 2025, recall involving coaster brakes. Other recent recalls of similar products include Super Wheels Vaast A/1 Bicycles Recall: Fall Hazard Risk (Oct. 16, 2025).
How to tell if you have this one
Check for black rear wheel bolts that connect the motor to the rear frame. Trek bikes have "TREK" on the downtube and "FX+" on the top tube. Electra bikes have "townie" on the downtube, "electra" on the seat stay, and "go!" on the chain guard.
