Marzocchi Recalls Bicycle Forks Due to Crash Hazard and Risk of Injury during Repair

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

Recalled product: Marzocchi Recalls Bicycle Forks Due to Crash Hazard and Risk of Injury during Repair

The hazard

The suspension system on bikes with the recalled forks could become completely compressed and fail to return to its original position after a forceful landing. This can cause riders to lose control of the bicycle and crash. The forks can also expand forcefully if repair is attempted by the consumer, posing a risk of serious injury.

What to do

Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycle forks immediately, and return them to the dealer where purchased for a free repair. Consumers should not attempt to repair the forks.
