Recall Details
This recall involves all BMC-branded Kaius 01 bicycles and framesets. The bikes and framesets were sold in Peacock Spider, Carbon Black/Brushed Blue, Purple/White, White/Black, Turquoise/Black, Saffron/Black and Stone Grey colors. The brand BMC is printed on the downtube. Only bicycles and framesets with a V5 fork are affected by the recall and require a replacement fork.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an authorized BMC dealer for a free inspection and a free replacement of the forks. BMC is contacting all known purchasers directly.
BMC has received two reports of the V5 fork steerers separating from the bicycle frame. No injuries have been reported.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risk of injury associated with the use of thousands of types of consumer products. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product-related incidents cost the nation more than $1 trillion annually. Since the CPSC was established more than 50 years ago, it has worked to ensure the safety of consumer products, which has contributed to a decline in injuries associated with these products.
Federal law prohibits any person from selling products subject to a Commission ordered recall or a voluntary recall undertaken in consultation with the CPSC.
