Date: July 12, 2006
Company: M2Racer LLC, of Burlingame, Calif.
Status: Ongoing
Source: CPSC

What You Should Do

Stop using this product immediately. Do not consume, use, or distribute it.

Consumers should stop riding bicycles with these headsets and inspect their front fork assembly for scoring damage. M2Racer will refund the purchase price of returned headsets.

Affected Products

The headset is the component on a bicycle, which provides a interface that can rotate between the bicycle fork and the bicycle frame itself. The Conventional Headset is constructed of an anodized black alloy housing, stainless steel, and polymers. The Integrated Lite Headset is constructed of a black polymer housing and light weight alloys. The Integrated Headset weighs 29 grams; the Conventional Headset weighs 39 grams.

Why Was This Recalled?

The headsets mount to bicycle frames and fasten to the front fork assembly. A protruding component of the headset can contact the steering tube of the front fork assembly, score or scratch the steering tube, and weaken the structural integrity of the front fork. The front fork could break, causing the handlebars to separate from the bicycle during use and result in a crash.
