Hazard

The product presents a risk of injuries because the threaded bolt, positioned at the ball joint that forms part of the steering rod, can break under exceptional circumstances. The failing ball joint will lead to a complete loss of steering control at the front wheel on the cargo bike. In such a scenario, most riders would instinctively bring the bike to an emergency stop, in doing so causing them to fall. The product does not meet the requirements of the Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations 2008.

Remedy

The recall for the bikes affected has been completed within the August 2021 - September 2021 period.
