Felt Bicycles is recalling 2015 F65X and F85X cyclocross models because the frames could break, causing riders to lose control and fall.

What this means for you

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 structural defect (frame breakage) that poses a risk of injury, but the source text explicitly states that no injuries have been reported, fitting the criteria for a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported.

Plain-English summary

Felt Bicycles is recalling approximately 150 units of its 2015 F65X and F85X cyclocross bicycles. The recall was initiated because the bicycle frames could break, which could cause the rider to lose control, fall, and suffer injuries. No injuries have been reported in connection with this defect.

The affected bicycles were sold at bicycle specialty stores nationwide from June 2014 through September 2014 for between $1,200 and $1,500.
