Cannondale Recalls Road Bicycles Due to Fall Hazard

March 17, 2009
Cannondale is recalling about 1,300 road bicycles because they fail to meet the federal safety standard for bicycles. Spoke protector discs, required on bicycles to prevent the bicycle chain from interfering or suddenly stopping the wheel, are missing from these bicycles. This poses a fall hazard to the rider.

Named in the recall notice are 2009 Six 5, Six 6, Six Carbon 5 and Six Carbon 6 Bicycles. "Six" is printed on the bicycle’s top tube and "Cannondale" is printed on the down tube.

The bicycles, made in Taiwan, were sold by authorized Cannondale dealers nationwide from October 2008 through February 2009 for between $1,500 and $2,100.

Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact any authorized Cannondale bicycle dealer for a free repair.

For additional information, contact Cannondale at (800) 245-3872 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET Monday through Friday or visit Cannondale’s Web site at www.cannondale.com

The recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
