May 11, 2023: CPSC Announces the Original Peloton Bike Recall

The 2023 CPSC recall, number 23-201, covered about 2.2 million original Peloton Bikes, model PL01, over the same seat post assembly hazard as the 2025 recall [3]. The recall came after 35 reports of seat post failure, 13 with injuries. CPSC’s notice labels model PL01 as the original Bike. The 2025 recall of the Bike+, model PL02, is a separate action.

Which Peloton Bike Models Are Affected?

The 2025 recall covers one Peloton model, the Original Series Bike+, and these identifiers show whether a bike is included:

• Product: Peloton Original Series Bike+
• Model number: PL02
• Serial number: begins with the letter T
• Not included: the original Peloton Bike, model PL01

The Health Canada notice says the Peloton name and the model number appear inside the front fork, behind the front fork, or behind the flywheel [4]. The same notice says the bike measures 4 ft. long by 2 ft. wide and has an adjustable seat and handlebar. Peloton sold the bikes for about $2,495, according to the CPSC notice.

Why Was the Peloton Bike Recalled?

The Peloton Original Series Bike+ was recalled because its seat post assembly can break during use, posing fall and injury hazards. Peloton announced the recall as a voluntary action, undertaken in consultation with CPSC. CPSC’s notice describes the reported failures as the seat post breaking and detaching from the bike during use. CPSC and Health Canada both list Taiwan as the place where the recalled bikes were manufactured. Health Canada’s notice files the issue as a fall hazard, titles the recall a potential fall hazard, and says the recall involves certain seat posts on Bike+ units with model number PL02.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

CPSC’s notice says Peloton had received three U.S. reports of the seat post breaking, and two involved injuries from a fall. Health Canada’s notice says Peloton had received no reported incidents in Canada as of November 6, 2025. The reports in the CPSC notice do not prove that the seat post caused every incident, and a recall by itself does not show the cause of any single injury. Health Canada also reminds consumers to report any health or safety incident with this bike, or with any other consumer product or cosmetic, by filling out its Consumer Product Incident Report Form.

What Should Consumers Do?

Follow these steps if you own or used a recalled Peloton Original Series Bike+:

1. Stop using your recalled bike immediately to avoid the fall and injury hazards, as CPSC and Health Canada both advise.
2. Check that your bike is an Original Series Bike+, model PL02, with a serial number that begins with the letter T.
3. Contact Peloton toll-free at 866-679-9129 from 6 a.m. to 12 a.m. ET, Monday through Friday, to request the free seat post, which owners can self-install. You can also use the Peloton recall page on the company’s support site.
4. Install the free seat post yourself once you receive it, following the self-installation instructions that Peloton provides for this recall.

Other Recalls, Warnings, or International Actions

Health Canada posted its own recall notice for the Bike+, model PL02, on November 6, 2025. About 44,800 units were sold in Canada. A different bike, the original PL01 model, had its own recall in 2023. Owners should check their model number to see which recall applies.

Legal Options

A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility for compensation. A rider hurt in a fall from a recalled Peloton bike may have grounds for an individual product-liability review. No MDL has been formed for the Peloton Bike+ recall, according to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) report [5].
