A bike parts maker is recalling its EA30 stem used on some 6,400 bicycles in the past two years after reports that the stem can crack.
The recall by Easton Sports involves the Raleigh 2007, XXIX 700c MTN, RX1.0, Diamondback 2007, Mission, and Sortie bicycles with the EA30 stem.
The Scotts Valley, California-based company is making the recall after being notified that a stem broke, causing a minor injury to the bike rider. Easton Sports says the stem had passed all industry tests. The bike stems were made in China.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the EA30 stems are black with white-and-gray graphics and feature a four-bolt stem face cap. “EA30” is printed on the stem.
The stem were used on bikes sold for $500 to $1,200 through independent bike dealers from August 2007 through August 2009. The stems also were sold separately for about $30 from August 2007 through August 2009.
Consumers can get those EA30 bike stems replaced for free at any authorized Easton Sports dealer.
