SRAM Bicycle Brake Calipers

April 10, 2007
SRAM Corp. is recalling about 5,400 bicycle brake caliper sets. The brake calipers could break and detach from the bicycle's fork or frame. This could cause the rider to lose control and crash.

The recall involves the SRAM Force Road Brake Calipers sets sold as aftermarket components. The brake caliper sets have 'SRAM Force' and some have a date or production code embossed on the unit.

The SRAM brake caliper sets may have also been installed on the following makes and models of bicycles: Specialized (S-Works Tarmac SL, S-Works Roubaix); Trek (Project One Madone models); Fuji (Fuji SL1); Scott USA (Addict R3); Bianchi (Bianchi 928 SL); Kuota (Kuota KOM, Kuota KREDO, Kuota KEBEL); Orbea (Orca, Aqua, Loboular, Opal, Arin, Aqua Dama, Dama Race and Diva); Kestrel (Evoke SL/Force, RT700/Force), Titus (Vuelo, Solera) and Sampson (Diablo).

Specialty bicycle retailers nationwide sold individual brake caliper sets from July 2006 through January 2007 for about $270 and bicycles which included these sets through March 2007 for between $3,000 and $7,300.

Consumers should stop using bicycles equipped with these brake caliper sets immediately and contact their bicycle retailer for a free replacement.
