About 12,000 bicycles with R-SYS front wheel rims, made in France and imported by Mavic USA, of Haverhill, Mass. were recalled because the spokes on the front wheel rim can break during use, posing a fall and crash hazard to riders. The company has received one report of an injury involving broken teeth.
According to a statement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission,the recalled products include R-SYS and R-SYS Premium front wheel rims. They were sold as original equipment on various bicycle brands and were also sold separately at specialty bicycle retailers from May 2007 through December last year.
