July 31, 2003
Bicycle forks made by Cervlo Cycles Inc. are being recalled. The forks on the bicycles can develop cracks near the crown area resulting in failure of the fork and posing a risk of injury to the rider.
The recall involves "Wolf" all-carbon road bike forks with a 1-inch diameter threadless steer tube. The bicycle forks were sold with 2003 model Soloist Team and Super Prodigy bicycles and framesets. A 17cm "Cervlo" logo is printed in white outlined letters on both fork legs.
The forks were sold at bicycle specialty stores nationwide from April 2003 through July 2003 for about $3,000.
Consumers should return the bicycles with the recalled forks to the dealer where purchased or contact Cervlo's recall hotline to locate the nearest service dealer to receive a free replacement.
For more information, consumers should contact Cervlo Cycles toll-free at (866) 296-3137 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday CT or visit the firm's Web site at www.cervelo.com/wolfrecall.
