The CPSC and Time Sport International are recalling about 18,000 Time RXS Titan Carbon, RXS Carbon, RXS and RXE Bicycle Pedals.
The pedal's bearing cap can fail causing the pedal to come off the bicycle. This poses a fall hazard for riders. The firm has received reports of eight incidents in which the pedal came off the bicycle, resulting in minor injuries.
The recalled pedals are black or gray. They are made of
composite material and are mounted to either a steel or titanium pedal axle and bearing unit by using a threaded aluminum bearing cap. Pedals that have a gold dot on the underside of the pedal body just inside where the bearing cap is mounted to the pedal body are not included in
this recall.
The pedals were sold at bicycle stores, through mail order, and through online bicycle dealers nationwide from October 2004 through August 2006 for between $75 and
$300 and were manufactured in France.
