Why it was recalled
During assembly, a spacer was installed behind the drive side bottom bracket bearing, increasing the bracket width. As a result, the crank arm is not completely attached to the crank spindle, and the crank arm safety tab cannot lock into the spindle. This can cause crank arms and pedals to fall off affected bicycles.
Hazard
If the pedal and crank arm fall off while the bicycle is being ridden, the rider may lose control of the bicycle, increasing the risk of an accident or injury.
