Plain-English summary
VP Components is recalling approximately 5,400 Harrier and Giant Pinner DH bicycle pedals (2,700 pairs) due to a safety hazard. The pedals were sold separately from bicycles at bicycle stores nationwide and online from approximately May 2017 through December 2017 for between $113 and $116 each. The pedals are red, silver, or black-colored with Harrier or Giant printed on the pedal body.
The recall is being issued because the pedal body can separate from the pedal spindle, resulting in a loss of balance and posing fall and injury hazards for the rider. VP Components has received 79 reports of broken spindles and one report of a rider injured in a fall after the spindle of a Giant Pinner DH model pedal separated from the body of the pedal.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycle pedals and contact the bike shop or online retailer where the pedals were originally purchased to arrange for free replacement pedals.
