The front racks can detach and cause the front wheel to stop abruptly, posing a fall hazard.
The firm has received two reports of of the tray detaching and contacting the bicycle wheel -- one resulting in a fall involving minor cuts and bruises, and the other involving both bruising and a concussion.
This recall involves the front rack with a bamboo tray for Cycling Sports Group Cannondale Treadwell bicycles. The rack has a black metal frame and a bamboo tray.
“ISO11243:2016 YUENI MAX 10KG” is printed on the bamboo tray.
The racks, manufactured in Taiwan, were sold at authorized Cannondale dealers nationwide from April 2019, through June 2020, for between $950 to $2,750 for the bicycles sold with the front racks, and $100 for the racks sold separately.
The front racks were included as original equipment on some bicycles. On other bicycles, they were sold separately as ad-on equipment.
