Cannondale announced yesterday they’re recalling 23,000 mountain bikes due to an issue with the bikes’ OPI stem and steering tube assemblies. Fortunately no injuries have been reported yet, but affected owners are encouraged to stop riding the bikes and get the free fix from an authorized Cannondale dealer.
Affected bikes include 2011-2015 Flash, FSi , F-4, F-5, F-29, Lexi, RZ, Scalpel and Trigger bikes. To see if your bike is included in the recall, look for the black letters “OPI” printed on the stem/steering tube. It’s interesting to note this recall doesn’t affect the low end of the Cannondale line; in fact, the company says affected bikes sold for between $2,000 and $10,000.
Was your bike included in the recall? Are you going to stop riding it until you can get it fixed?
