Why it was recalled
The affected carbon fork steer tube has insufficient strength which might lead to cracks below the stem or spacers. This can lead to a full crack of the tube.
Hazard
If the fork steer tube cracks while the bicycle is in use it may cause a loss of control of the bicycle, posing a serious risk of injury or death to the rider.
