Fox Racing Shox recalls Evolution Series Float forks

Message par redplanet » Jeu Oct 24, 2013 9:16 am



Suspension manufacturer Fox Racing Shox has issued a voluntary recall of up to 40,000 Evolution series forks manufactured between March 1, 2012 and November 30, 2012.

This recall applies to 2013 model year Evolution Series Float suspension forks with 32mm and 34mm chassis and 120-160mm of travel.

The fork damper cylinder / piston assembly in some of these forks may separate and allow the fork to over-extend under certain circumstances, possibly causing the front wheel to detach from the bicycle while in use. The company has received one report of an incident in which a broken damper may have caused the fork to over extend and allowed the front wheel to detach.

This recall includes Fox Evolution series forks that came on production bicycles, as well as those that were sold aftermarket

Riders who think they may have a fork affected by this recall are urged to visit the and enter the four-digit ID code located on the back of the left fork leg. Alternatively, riders can enter the serial number stamped into the bottom of their fork’s steerer tube.

Fox Evolution owners are urged to check the four-digit code on the left fork leg or the serial number stamped into the bottom of the steerer tube

After entering their fork data through one of these two methods, the user will be guided through a step-by-step upgrade process where they will receive a free upgraded damper to be installed by Fox or by a qualified retailer.

Editor's note:

Fox initially sent out a recall notice stating that Evolution Series Float and TALAS forks were affected by this recall. The company has since specified this recall only applies to Evolution Series Float forks and not to the travel-adjustable TALAS models. This article has been updated accordingly.
