A Felt brand bicycle recall has resulted from seven reports of bikes breaking and reports of minor injuries to cyclists including bumps and bruises, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
More than 2,000 Felt road bikes are being recalled by Felt Bicycles of Irvine, California because a potentially defective fork steer tube can break and cause the rider to lose control, therefore increasing the risk of a bike accident injury. The recalled Felt road bikes are 2009 models and include B12, B16 and S32 models. The recalled bicycles were sold at bike shops nationwide between October 2008 and May 2010. Owners should NOT ride the recalled bikes and take them to their Felt Bicycle dealer for free inspections and repairs.
