Trek Bicycle, in coordination with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), has announced a voluntary recall of its Bontrager Line Pro flat pedals. The safety notice comes in response to a limited number of reports of spindle breakage on the trail/off-road pedal.
Trek adds that ‘Though there have been no reports of injury to riders, those who have purchased the pedals should stop riding them immediately and return them to their authorized Trek retailer for repair.’
Bike accessories specialist brand, Bontrager, is part of the Trek family of brands.
As part of this voluntary recall, Trek retailers will replace the spindles on each pair of pedals returned free of charge. Trek retailers have been notified and replacement spindles are available immediately. In addition to free replacement spindles, all customers who return a pair of Bontrager Line Pro flat pedals for repair will be issued an in-store credit of US$20 towards any Trek or Bontrager merchandise. The credit is valid through December 31, 2018 and has no cash value.
