Rossignol Recalls DH Bikes Over Fall Hazard
Rossignol USA Inc. is recalling about 150 model years 2018 and 2019 Rossignol All Track DH Bicycles over concerns that cracks can form at the head tube area of the bicycle, where the fork connects to the bicycle.
“This can cause the frame to fail and allow the fork and front wheel to unexpectedly separate from the rest of the bicycle, posing a fall hazard to riders,” CPSC said.
The recalled bikes were sold at Rossignol dealers/rental resorts nationwide from March 2018 through October 2020 for about $3,800.
