Plain-English summary
BMC Switzerland AG is recalling approximately 840 model year 2018 and 2019 Teammachine SLR01 DISC bicycles and framesets. The recall is due to a defect where the fork steerer tube can crack or break during use, which poses a fall hazard to the rider. An additional 94 units were sold in Canada.
BMC has received four reports of the fork steerer tube breaking while in use. One consumer experienced a shoulder injury that required hospitalization and surgery, while another consumer reported minor scratches and bruising. The affected bicycles and framesets were sold through authorized BMC bicycle dealers and bicycle stores nationwide from July 2017 through October 2019 for between $4,500 and $12,500.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact their local BMC authorized dealer for a free inspection and free replacement fork. Only bicycles and framesets with a FK6 fork require a replacement fork, which will be confirmed by BMC authorized dealers during the free inspection. For more information, consumers can contact BMC USA toll-free at 888-262-7755 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.BMC-Switzerland.com/teammachinerecall.
