Rocky Mountain recalls 2003-2016 bicycles with front disc brakes and black/silver quick-release levers. Open lever can cause sudden wheel stop or separation, risking injury. Stop using immediately and get free quick release replacement.
An open quick release lever on the bicycle's front wheel hub can come into contact with the front disc brake assembly, causing the front wheel to come to a sudden stop or separate from the bicycle, posing a risk of injury to the rider.
Rocky Mountain is recalling bicycles made between 2003 and 2016 that have front disc brakes and a black or silver quick-release lever. The recall is because the quick release lever can come into contact with the front brake, causing the wheel to stop suddenly or separate, which could injure the rider.
When the front quick release lever is fully opened, if there's less than 6 mm (the width of a #2 pencil) between the lever and the front brake rotor, the lever can contact the brake. This causes the front wheel to stop suddenly or separate from the bicycle, potentially injuring the rider.
Bicycle owners who purchased Rocky Mountain bicycles with front disc brakes and black or silver quick-release levers between 2003 and 2016 are affected. Riders using these bikes are at risk of injury if the quick release lever contacts the front brake.
