Trek Bicycle Corp. of Waterloo, WI has recalled about 2,600 Farley bicycles and framesets (plus about 360 sold in Canada) because the fork can separate from the steer tube, posing a fall hazard to the rider.
Though no injuries have been reported, five reports have been received of the bicycle fork separating from the steer tube. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and framesets and return the bicycles to a Trek retailer for a free inspection and repair.
The recall involves model year 2014 Trek Farley bicycles and framesets and 2015 Trek Farley 6 bicycles and framesets. The 2014 Trek Farley is black with green decals with an aluminum frame and fork. The 2014 frameset is sky blue with orange decals. The 2015 Trek Farley 6 is black with blue decals with an aluminum frame and fork. Both bicycle models were sold in 14.5 through 21.5 inch sizes. “Trek” is printed across the bicycle frame.
The bicycles and framesets, which were manufactured in Taiwan, were sold at bicycle stores nationwide from September 2013 through August 2016 for between $1,700 and $2,600.
