Bursting air chambers: Fox recalls the Float X2 damper

The suspension specialist has identified a safety risk with Float X2 dampers and has therefore launched a recall campaign. Under certain circumstances, the air chamber of the shock can rupture or burst.

The company Fox Factory Holding is recalling a certain batch of Float X2 shocks with immediate effect. The Californians have discovered that, under certain circumstances, some of the air chambers of the shocks can rupture or even burst if the internal air pressure of the shock increases during compression.

The following information is available regarding the endangered shocks: Float X2 shocks from the 2016 and 2017 model years that were shipped before September 9, 2016 and do not have the "250 psi max" label are affected by the recall. Fox is currently working with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to develop a replacement plan. Currently, the affected shocks should not be installed, sold or used.www.ridefox.com
