Plain-English summary

PNW Components, Inc. is recalling approximately 1,200 Loam Pedal Gen 2 aluminum alloy bicycle pedals. The pedals are platform-style (non-clip) mountain bike pedals available in black, silver, green, orange, and purple. They can be identified by a "Tectonic" logo laser etched onto the pedal body on the left corner, on the same side as the threaded axle.

The pedal axle can crack, causing the pedal to detach from the crank during use, posing a fall hazard to the rider. PNW Components has received four reports of the pedal axle cracking and detaching. No injuries have been reported.

The pedals were sold from June 2025 through November 2025 for approximately $160 per pair through independent bicycle dealers and online retailers including PNWComponents.com, REI.com, Backcountry.com, and JensonUSA.com.

Consumers should immediately stop using the Loam Pedal Gen 2 and contact PNW Components for a free replacement. While replacement axles become available (estimated January 5, 2026), PNW Components is providing the Range Pedal free of charge as a temporary replacement. Contact PNW Components at 833-902-3381 (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. PT), by email at [email protected], or online at PNWComponents.com.
