Concern

Front quick release may fail

Defect, as DVSA words it

It has been identified that in certain cases it is possible that after the quick release as fitted to the front wheels of road and off-road bicycles has been locked into position the quick release axle could fail or break simultaneously. Should this occur the rider may lose control of the bicycle and injury might ensue.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Subject bicycles will be recalled and have the quick release assembly replaced.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
