The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) recalled roughly 1800 Brompton T-Line Foldable Bikes in Blasted Titanium. A loss of alignment between the handlebar and front wheel due to insufficient torquing of steerer clamp bolts could cause a rider to lose control and fall.
Brompton has received 13 incidents of steering misalignment or loss of steering control worldwide, with no injuries reported.
The bike model was sold at independent dealers and Brompton Junction stores nationwide and online at us.brompton.com from February 2024 through June 2024 for between $5,225 and $5,500.
Consumers are asked not to ride the recalled bikes and to contact an authorized Brompton dealer to schedule a free repair to tighten the steerer clamp bolts on the handlebar stem. Brompton is also contacting all registered owners and dealers.
When folded, the bike measures 25.4” H x 23.6” W x 12.6” D and has the word “Brompton” printed on the center tube of the frame. A label with the frame number and serial number is on the back of the vertical seat tube. The label also has a “T” logo, which distinguishes this model from others.
