Cannondale Dave Bicycles Recalled for Fall and Injury Hazards

Cannondale is recalling 2021–2023 Model Year Dave bicycles because the headtube/downtube weld can become damaged and separate from the frame, creating a fall hazard. No injuries have been reported.

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: This is a risk-of-harm consumer product recall where structural failure (weld separation) poses a direct fall hazard. Although no injuries have been reported, the hazard is concrete and substantiated by two documented incidents of frame damage, making it a High severity case per the rubric criterion for "risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported."

Plain-English summary

Cycling Sports Group Inc., doing business as Cannondale, is recalling approximately 660 Model Year 2021 through 2023 Cannondale 26" Dave bicycles sold in deep teal and stealth gray. The bicycles and framesets have "Dave" printed on the frame top-tube and "Cannondale" printed on the downtube.

The bicycle headtube/downtube weld can become damaged and separate from the bicycle frame, posing fall and injury hazards. The firm has received two reports of damage to the headtube/downtube weld causing the headtube to separate from the frame. No injuries have been reported.

The recalled bicycles were sold nationwide in bicycle stores and online at Cannondale.com from June 2021 through September 2023 for approximately $1,300. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Cannondale dealer for a free replacement frame.
