Mirraco Recalls Bicycles Due to Wheel Fork Failure Hazard
The hazard
The front wheel forks on these bicycles could have been welded improperly. This poses a risk that the weld could fail, and the rider could lose control and fall.
Incidents reported: The firm has received four reports of steer tube rotation and one report of a fork separation due to failure of the welds. No injuries have been reported.
What to do now
Consumers should stop using the bicycles immediately and have them inspected by a Mirraco dealer. If the inspection shows that the bicycle is part of the recall, the fork will be replaced free of charge.
