Cannondale Recalls Bicycles With JD Suspension Forks Due to Crash Hazard

Cannondale is recalling about 1,500 model year 2008 Adventure bicycles because the JD suspension forks can lose alignment, posing a crash risk.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (bicycles) where a crash hazard is identified, but the source explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, which aligns with the 'High' severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Cannondale Bicycle Corp. is recalling approximately 1,500 model year 2008 Cannondale Adventure 2, Adventure 3, Adventure 2 Feminine, and Adventure 3 Feminine bicycles. The recall involves bicycles equipped with JD suspension forks that have the words "cannondale AT35 adventure trail" printed on them. Bicycles equipped with the Rock Shox i-ride fork are not included in the recall.

The recalled bicycles' forks can lose alignment, causing the front wheel to turn unexpectedly. This can cause the rider to lose control of the bicycle and crash. No injuries have been reported.

The bicycles were sold from February 2009 through April 2009 at Cannondale bicycle dealers for between $600 and $800. Consumers should stop riding the recalled bicycles immediately and contact their dealer to arrange for a free repair. For additional information, consumers can contact Cannondale at (800) 245-3872 or visit www.cannondale.com.
