Plain-English summary

Wilier Triestina USA LLC is recalling approximately 200 Izoard XP bicycles and framesets sold with carbon/alloy forks. The recall involves units with fork serial numbers between LH0001 and LH4000, located on the steerer tube about six inches from the crown. Bicycles purchased before January 2012 are not included in this recall.

The recall is due to a fall hazard: the bicycle fork's steerer tube can break while in use. No injuries or illnesses have been reported in connection with this defect.

The affected bicycles were sold at bicycle retailers nationwide from January 2012 through October 2012 for approximately $2,600. Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact an authorized Wilier bicycle dealer to have the serial number checked. If the bicycle is included in the recall, the dealer will install a new Izoard replacement fork at no charge.
