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 (fork steerer tube breakage) that poses a risk of harm, with three reports of minor injuries (bumps, bruises, scrapes) but no reports of serious injury or death, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported as severe.

Plain-English summary

Haro Bicycles, of Vista, California, is recalling approximately 510 Masi Evoluzione and Gran Corsa bicycles from model years 2017 through 2020. The recall involves specific carbon frame and fork models, including the Masi Evoluzione Dura Ace, Ultegra, Ultegra Di2, 105, and Gran Corsa variants. The bicycles have carbon frames with carbon fiber forks and carbon steer tubes, and the Masi logo is visible on the frame and forks.

The recall is being conducted because the bicycle's fork steerer tube can break. This failure can cause the rider to lose control, fall, and suffer injuries. The firm has received five reports of the bicycle forks breaking, including three reports of minor injuries such as bumps, bruises, and scrapes.

These bicycles were sold at bicycle specialty stores, including Sun and Ski and Erik's Bikes and Fitness stores nationwide, from December 2016 through February 2021 for between $1,400 and $6,200. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact their local Haro Bicycles dealer for a free inspection, and repair or replacement of the fork and compression plug.
