The front brake attachment bolt may detach, causing the brake to fail.
The damper units in some of these forks may not adequately vent oil that flows in during normal operation. Internal damper pressure can overcome the seal head retaining ring and cause the damper to break. A broken damper will decrease certain performance characteristics of the fork, and in some cases the undamped air spring might break and allow the lower unit of the fork to separate from the bicycle.
If the front wheel is not correctly tightened in the fork, there is a possibility the front wheel may fall out.
There is a possibility of the steering tube breaking under conditions of extreme use.
The steel balls inside the cam mechanism of the disc brake calliper can fall out of place, resulting in a loss of braking power.
The carbon tubular spokes of the R-Sys front wheel may break during use in certain circumstances causing the rider to lose control and possibly fall, potentially sustaining injury.
The fork may break during use.
On some units the adhesive used to attach the brake plates to the forks has been omitted. Where this has occurred the brake plates are only attached to the frame with a pair of rivets.
The fork may bend during use just above the disc brake mounting point.
The seatposts on the affected bicycles and those that were sold after-market can crack and break during use.
The bolts fixing the clamps may be too short and may not provide sufficient engagement to secure the clamp.
The weld between the main tube and the OCL joint may crack and dislocate on affected frames.
The fork may bend above the disc tab (disc caliper mounting) during normal use.
Braking capacity may be reduced as a result of air introduction into the hydraulic circuit. The cause of the defect lies with two separate elements, which can combine and result in the introduction of air to the hydraulic circuit. 1) The secondary seal in combination with low temperatures (below -8°C) exhibits poor self restoring force properties. 2) Used brake pads can cause a vacuum in the hydraulic system and this may lead to the introduction of air into the hydraulic circuit.
MT8 disc brake system may malfunction at reduced temperatures, specifically at -10 °C (14 °F) and below. In addition, the brake system may have a reduced service life and can fail suddenly.
The steerer tube in the front fork can break.
Reduced wall thickness on the front fork steerer tube may result in the steerer tube breaking during use.
The front fork steerer tube can break during use.
The handlebar stem of the Tikit bicycle has a potential weak spot and can develop a crack. As a result, the handlebar stem may eventually separate from the bicycle.
The rim tape can fail and break under pressure.
The affected bicycles contain a steel fork-steerer which may break at the lower steerer tube.
The bicycle frame may crack during use.
The suspension fork's internal support tubes may break.
Due to a manufacturing defect, some handlebars were constructed with carbon fibre that was laid at the wrong angle, which may cause them to break.
The steel mounting bracket on bicycle racks with single fork tabs may crack or break.
The bicycles are not fitted with a precautionary warning decal as required by the Australian and New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1927:1998. This recall only applies to bicycles sold in Australia.
