Reason the product is recalled
During testing the OPI steerer had a reduced fatigue life-span and this can lead to premature breakage of the fork clamps or bolts.
The hazards to consumers
If the steerer fails during use this may cause the rider to lose control and may pose a fall hazard to the cyclist.
What consumers should do
Consumers with an OPI Stem should immediately stop using the bicycle and go to a Cannondale Dealer for assistance and replacement of the affected steerer.
