GT LaBomba bicycles and frames
Published 8 March 2024
Product
GT LaBomba bicycles and frames. Model years 2019-23. Products have "LaBomba" painted on the frame top-tube. Sold in 24-inch and 26-inch sizes and in various colours.
Why it was recalled
The frames should have 2 welds connecting the down tube and head tube. Recalled frames only have one, making the connection weaker. If the weld becomes damaged, the headtube may separate from the frame.
Hazard
There is a risk of accident and serious injury to the user if the head tube separates from the frame while the bicycle is being used. Incidents have occurred where the downtube has partially or fully separated from the bicycle frame.
