Carbon fork recall at Cervelo and Cube
Cervelo is talking about the Wolf SL model from the manufacturer True Temper. According to Cervelo, the steerer tube of these forks could break during normal use, which could result in a fall. The fork had previously passed all the standard industry safety tests. However, because several cases of damage occurred in practice, Cervelo carried out further tests and discovered a problem that could not be detected by the standard tests. According to a statement from Cervelo, the fork manufacturer True Temper nevertheless sees no reason for a general recall. The Canadian racing bike specialist Cervelo, on the other hand, has decided to recall and replace all Wolf SL forks from its bikes at its own expense. Several racing bike models sold between November 2005 and July 2008 are affected. According to estimates by Andy Kessler from Cervelo International, around 100 bikes are affected by the recall in Switzerland.
The Italian fork manufacturer Dedaccai is also launching a recall. With the carbon fork "Black Blade", the bonding of the dropouts can come loose, which is noticeable by a cracking noise on the front wheel. The defective forks were installed by German bike manufacturer Cube, among others, which has now made the recall public. Cube is asking all buyers of one of its racing bikes from the 2007 model year to have their forks checked at the point of sale. According to Cube, dealers have been informed of the recall and are in a position to identify the faulty forks and replace them if necessary.www.cervelo.com/WolfSLRecall/www.cube-bikes.de
