Electric bicycles recalled because chainring bolts can come loose

Plain-English summary

Model year 2026 Trek-branded Domane+ ALR 5, Domane+ ALR 6 AXS, Checkpoint+ SL 6 and Checkpoint+ SL 7 electric bicycles are being recalled. The bicycles come in various colours and sizes, with "TREK" on the downtube and the model name printed on the top tube.

The bolts on the chainring can come loose, causing the chainring to separate from the bike and resulting in a fall or crash hazard to the user. The firm has received three reports of the chainring coming loose. No injuries have been reported.

About 700 units were sold at independent bicycle retailers and Trek authorized retailers nationwide and online from July 2025 through September 2025 for between $5,000 and $8,000.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized Trek dealer to schedule a free repair, at which the dealer will tighten the chainring bolts to the correct specification. Trek will provide consumers who participate in the recall with a $20 in-store credit toward Trek, Electra or Bontrager merchandise, valid through December 31, 2026.
