What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: A handlebar clamp that allows the steering to rotate is a structural vehicle defect affecting directional control, and a crash has already been reported.
