Reasons the product is recalled
In certain cases, the handlebars may develop small fatigue cracks over time. If not identified, the cracks may continue to grow larger and eventually lead to a fracture of the handlebars.
The hazards to consumers
If the handlebar fractures while the bicycle is in use there is a risk of serious injury or death to the user.
What consumers should do
Consumers should check to see if their bicycle is affected. Bikes that are affected can be identified by the bicycle stem faceplate marking that reads "Ø31.8 9-10N.m” in the location as pictured. The marking can be found on either the top or the bottom side of the stem as pictured. If it does not have this exact marking, the bicycle is not affected. If it is, consumers should then return it to an authorised GT dealer for an inspection and replacement of handlebar and stem.
