Groupset and component manufacturer SRAM has issued a voluntary recall on its PowerLock chain connectors. SRAM is working with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission to announce a voluntary product recall of SRAM 10 speed chain PowerLock connector links.
SRAM has determined there is a potential for the PowerLock connector link outer plate to fail. This may present a safety hazard, and, as a result, SRAM is retrieving and replacing all affected SRAM 10 speed chain PowerLock connector links from the marketplace.
SRAM is advising consumers to stop using this product immediately. The company is asking distributors and retailers to help SRAM inform consumers about the recall by posting a Safety Recall Poster in store, which SRAM will provide after coordination with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Failure of the SRAM 10 speed chain PowerLock connector link, while in use, may result in loss of bicycle control and possible injury.
