Giant Bicycle is recalling about 1,000 TCR Advanced SL and SL (ISP) bicycles and frames because a problem in the density of the steerer tube can cause the forks to crack and break.
The 2009 model bicycles were sold from August through December last year for between $3,300 and $7,500. Cyclists are urged to stop riding the bicycles immediately and take them in to a Giant dealer for inspection and replacement fork.
The recall notice posted at the Consumer Product Safety Commission describes the part:
This recall involves 2009 TCR Advanced SL Team, SL 0, SL 1, SL 2, and SL (ISP) model bicycles and frames in silver, charcoal, blue and red. The words “Giant” and “TCR Advanced SL” are printed on the frame. Steerer tubes with “B”, “N” or “P” at the end of the serial number are not included in this recall. Other “TCR” model bicycles are not included in the recall.
The bikes were made in Taiwan and imported by Giant Bicycles of Newbury Park, California.
