Beaumont Plus ST Bicycles with Disc Brakes Recalled for Brake Failure Risk

Retrospec is recalling about 530 Beaumont Plus ST bicycles with disc brakes because the front brake rotor and pads can become misaligned, potentially causing brake failure and crashes. 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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product (brake failure leading to potential crash and injury) where no injuries have yet been reported. This falls under the "High" severity criterion for risk-of-harm products without reported injury. The hazard is structural and relates to a critical safety system, but the lack of reported incidents and non-Class I agency designation prevents a higher score.

Plain-English summary

Retrospec, doing business as Xander Bicycle Corp. of Perris, California, is recalling approximately 530 Beaumont Plus ST City Bike Step-Thru frame bicycles equipped with disc brakes. The bicycles were sold in bluebell (blue), eggshell (white), or mint (green) colors. "Retrospec" is printed on the frame, and the firm's "R" logo appears on the front fork. A silver label near the pedals states "Retrospec, Made in Tianjin, China and batch: 12-15-2023."

The front disc brake rotor and brake pads can be misaligned, which can cause brake failure and pose crash and injury hazards.

The recalled bicycles were sold at bicycle stores nationwide from February 2024 through March 2024 for about $400. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and take them to the authorized dealer where purchased, or visit https://retrospec.com/pages/dealer-locator/ for free installation of a new front fork.
