What’s the Problem?
This recall affects PR70P or first-generation pedals fitted on Peloton bikes, according to the U.S. Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC).[1]
“PR70P Clip-In Pedals can break unexpectedly during use, causing laceration injuries,” CPSC said.
The Peloton logo and the word “PELOTON” are molded into the body of the affected pedals. An orange Peloton symbol and white lettering spelling “PELOTON” are printed on the top of the cleat binding.
The recalled bike pedals were sold online, through Peloton phone sales, and in Peloton showrooms nationwide from July 2013 through May 2016.
If you purchased any bike pedals that are affected by this recall, you should stop using them and contact Peloton to receive free replacement pedals, along with instructions for self-installation.
This recall began on October 15, 2020.
Peloton has also come under scrutiny for its treadmill accidents after a number of children were injured by the treadmills.

Have Any Lawsuits Been Filed Against Peloton Over Defective Brake Pedals?
As of October 2023, no lawsuits have been filed against Peloton over the pedal recall. However, Peloton is likely to find itself vulnerable to product liability lawsuits if it can be proven that the pedals were defectively designed or manufactured.
If Peloton’s recent statement to CNBC is any indicator, it’s likely the company will attempt to shift blame to customers for not changing their pedals annually. “This recall only affects members who still have their out-of-warranty original pedals on the affected bikes sold in the specific time period,” Peloton said.
