Bicycle Chains and Chain Connector Links Recalled by SRAM Due to Fall Hazard
Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The hazard
The recalled PowerLock connector links, used on bicycle chains, are brittle and can crack, allowing the chain to separate from the bicycle and posing a fall hazard to the rider.
What to do
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled PowerLock connectors, chains and bicycles with these connectors and contact their SRAM retailer for a free replacement PowerLock connector link.
