SRAM, LLC, of Chicago, IL, has recalled 1,700 of its SRAM Red rear derailleurs, because the rear pivot pin can loosen or dislodge and cause the rear derailleur to jam or interfere with the wheel, posing a fall hazard.


The firm has received reports of 43 incidents in the U.S. with one report of scrapes and bruises.  

SRAM is advising consumers to immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled SRAM RED derailleurs and return the bicycles to the place of purchase or any SRAM dealer for a free replacement, including installation.

The recalled derailleurs manufacturing dates are September 2012 through March 2013. They were sold by specialty bicycle retailers nationwide from September 2012 to November 2013 for approximately $380 as an aftermarket installation. They were also sold as original equipment on new high-end bicycles.

The name SRAM RED and the serial number of the derailleur are located on the back of the inner pulley wheel cage plate and visible when looking thru the spokes of the bicycle wheel. Serial numbers of affected products begin with one of the following four-digit codes:
