Tern recalls Eclipse and Verge folding bikes with frame cracks at hinge that may cause falls. Affected models include Eclipse S1:11i, Verge S11i, X10, X20, X30h. Consumers must stop using and get free frame replacement.
The bike's frame can crack at the hinge on the top tube, posing a fall hazard.
Tern is recalling several folding bicycle models because the frame can crack at the hinge, which may cause falls. This hazard affects riders who use the bikes without proper maintenance or who don't follow the recommended safety steps.
The bike's frame can crack at the hinge on the top tube, which may cause the bike to fall unexpectedly. This happens because the hinge area is under stress during normal use, especially when the bike is folded or handled improperly.
Owners of Tern folding bikes with model numbers Eclipse S11i, Verge S11i, X10, X20, or X30h are affected. Riders who use these bikes without checking the frame for cracks are at higher risk of falls.
Check for 'Tern' printed on the front end of the top tube and the model name on the middle of the top tube. The frame has a 10-character serial number starting with AM1A or from AM1102 through AM1208.
Immediately stop riding the bicycle and contact Stile Products or take the bike to an authorized dealer.
You will receive a free frame and have it installed at no cost.
