Plain-English summary
Advanced Sports International is recalling approximately 1,700 Breezer Downtown bicycles, including models Downtown 3, Downtown 3-ST, Downtown 8, Downtown 8-ST, Downtown EX, and Downtown EX-ST. The bicycles were sold nationwide through authorized Breezer dealers from July 2014 through May 2015 for approximately $450 to $650. The main frame is made of steel, and the wheel sets are aluminum.
The recall is due to a hazard where the bicycle pedal can separate from the spindle (axle) during use. This separation can cause the rider to lose control, posing a crash hazard. The firm has received 12 reports of pedals separating from the spindle, but no injuries have been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the affected bicycles and return them to a Breezer dealer for a free pedal replacement.
