Magura recalls MT 6 and MT 8 hydraulic disc brakes that may fail in cold weather, causing collisions. Affected units have specific date codes or no date codes. Consumers must stop using and contact for free repair.
The brakes can fail in low temperatures, posing a collision hazard.
Magura is recalling bicycle hydraulic disc brakes (MT 6 and MT 8 models) because they can fail in low temperatures, leading to collision hazards. This affects bikes purchased between March 2011 and May 2012 with specific date codes or no date codes.
The brakes can fail in low temperatures, causing loss of braking power. This may lead to collisions if the rider cannot stop safely. The hazard occurs during normal use when temperatures drop.
Bicycle owners using Magura MT 6 or MT 8 hydraulic disc brakes with date codes from March 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012, or brakes without date codes are affected. Riders using these brakes in cold weather face collision risks.
Check for the word "Six" on the brake lever for MT 6 brakes or "Eight" for MT 8 brakes. Look for a date code on the caliper in format Y/MM/DD between 10301 and 20531, or no date code at all.
Immediately stop riding bicycles equipped with the recalled brakes to avoid collision risks.
