Plain-English summary

East Coast Cycle Supply LLC is recalling approximately 1,800 Trayl TRN 29-inch hardtail mountain bikes. The recall was issued because the brakes on these bicycles can fail to stop riders within the distances required by federal regulation, posing a crash hazard.

The recalled bikes feature a black and green frame with a white front fork. The word "Trayl" appears in white on the underside of the down tube and in green on the top side, with the "Y" in the word serving as the Trayl logo. These bicycles were sold exclusively at Sports Authority stores between November 2013 and May 2014 for $650. The manufacturer has received one report of the braking system taking longer to stop than allowed by federal regulation, but no injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and return them to Sports Authority for a free repair. East Coast Cycle Supply is also contacting consumers directly. For more information, consumers can call East Coast Cycle Supply toll-free at (844) 322-9253 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, email [email protected], or visit www.eccyclesupply.com.
