Product
Mountain Bike Front Forks Öhlins RXF 36 Air and RXF 34 Air, manufactured by Öhlins Racing AB. Affected forks are black with “ÖHLINS” written on each of the fork lowers. “RXF36” or “RXF34” is written across the fork arch. Affected Öhlins branded forks were distributed as aftermarket equipment by Specialized in Australia. They were also distributed as original equipment on certain Specialized-branded mountain bikes.
Why it was recalled
Affected forks may contain a defect in the top cap which potentially affects safety. The right-side top cap on some forks may not be adequately torqued, which in some cases, may lead to the top cap working itself free through riding.
Hazard
Risk of injury to the rider. If the cap works itself free during riding, the air cartridge may abruptly spring out of the stanchion tube.
