Affected Products

The Novara Dirt Rider 20-inch 5-speed and 6-speed bicycles are children's bicycles with 20-inch wheels, an aluminum frame, and multiple speeds. 2003-2004 model year bicycles were red/black or silver/blue frost in color; 2005-2006 model year bicycles were black/gravel or white/powder blue in color.

Why Was This Recalled?

The alloy frame used for these bicycles can be prone to fatigue failure. Frame failure results in the separation of the fork, head tube, and handlebar away from the rest of the bike, causing a loss of control and crash, and posing a risk of serious injury to the rider.

Where Was This Sold?
