Trek recalls bicycles from 2000-2015 with front disc brakes and black/silver quick release levers that may cause sudden wheel stoppage or separation, risking injury. Affected owners must stop using immediately and get a 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.
Trek is recalling bicycles made between 2000 and 2015 that have front disc brakes and a specific type of quick release lever. This recall is because the lever can accidentally contact the brake assembly, causing the front wheel to stop suddenly or detach, which could injure the rider.
The quick release lever on the front wheel hub can accidentally touch the front disc brake assembly when the lever is open. This contact can cause the front wheel to stop abruptly or become detached from the bicycle, potentially leading to injury to the rider.
Bicycle owners who purchased Trek bicycles from 2000 to 2015 with front disc brakes and black or silver quick release levers that open more than 180 degrees. Riders using these bikes are at risk of injury if the lever contacts the brake assembly.
