Bicycle pedals are being recalled by Trek due to fall and injury hazards
June 21, 2021
Trek Bicycle is recalling about 316,500 Bontrager Satellite City Bicycle Pedals in the United States and about 28,650 in Canada.
If the recalled pedals are incorrectly installed by the retailer during assembly, they can fall off the crank arm of the bicycle, posing fall and injury hazards to the rider.
Trek has received 132 reports of the recalled pedals loosening, locking up, or falling off, including seven reports of riders falling and experiencing injuries, including scrapes, bruises, and road rash.
This recall involves Bontrager Satellite City Pedals, which were installed as original equipment on Trek “Allant+,” “Dual Sport+,” “FX 2,” “FX 3,” “Verve 2,” “Verve 3,” and “Verve+” model bicycles.
“ZTR02” is stamped on the bicycle’s pedal and on the pedals that were sold separately as a replacement part. The pedals have orange reflectors on the outside edges.
The bicycles were sold at Trek Bicycle stores and other bicycle stores nationwide, and online at trekbikes.com from January 2018 through April 2021. The price was between $600 and $6,000. The pedals were also sold separately for about $30.
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles equipped with the recalled pedals and contact their local authorized Trek retailer for instructions on receiving free installation of replacement pedals, the company and U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission advise.
