There are several categories of product recalls, and this particular case is classified as a maintenance-related. Although it technically meets the definition of a recall, the required inspection and adjustment is simple enough for the user to perform at home. No returns or replacements are involved.
Instructions:
- Locate the pivot bolt at the base of the front tube, near the folding lever. Insert a 6mm Allen wrench into the bolt head on the left side to hold it stationary.
- Insert a second 6mm Allen wrench into the bolt on the right side. Ensure the Allen wrenches are fully seated into the bolt heads before applying pressure.
- While keeping the left wrench steady, turn the right wrench clockwise until the bolt is firm and secure.
