The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and The Hive, of Petaluma, CA, announced a voluntary recall of about 500 Revl carbon bicycle brakes.
The cable clamping area of the bicycle brakes can crack over time, causing the brakes to fail. This could pose a fall or crash hazard to the cyclist. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves black Revl carbon road bicycle brakes with date codes 41B, 44B, 45B, 53B, 13C and 16C printed on the underside of the carbon brake arms. “Revl” is printed on the brake.
The item was sold at bicycle specialty stores nationwide from September 2009 through August 2010 for about $390 per set.
