Cannondale Issues Recall Notice for Integrated Carbon Cranksets

APRIL 12, 2007 -- BETHEL, CT (BRAIN)--Cannondale has voluntarily issued a safety recall notice with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The products affected in the recall include 2007 and a few 2008 Cannondale bicycle models that are equipped with two-piece road and mountain system integrated cranksets. Three-piece system integrated Hollowgram cranksets and three-piece carbon system integrated cranksets are not affected.

Cannondale has learned from Full Speed Ahead, the manufacturer of the cranks, that a manufacturing process error caused a defect in the aluminum spindle portion of the crankset. “A small percentage of spindles were essentially overcooked during heat treatment causing very small cracks in the wall of the spindle,” said Chris Peck, vice president of research and development at Cannondale.

“It’s important to note that this was a manufacturing error on a limited run of goods. The manufacturing process itself is not flawed, nor is it a design flaw. The system integrated, oversized BB30 compatible spindle has been in the Cannondale line since the year 2000 without issues. It is race-proven at the highest level and has passed the highest fatigue testing standards in the industry when manufactured correctly," Peck added.

“FSA is a valuable partner, has taken full responsibility for the error in manufacturing and worked quickly to make the necessary changes to correct it."

Cannondale is conducting a mailing direct to consumers. Both Cannondale and FSA hve put appropriate control procedures in place to ensure quality prior to shipments.

“Rider safety is of paramount importance with this recall. We urge anyone that has purchased one of these bikes to contact their dealer immediately and have your bike inspected,” Peck said.

No injuries have been reported. Approximately 2,300 bicycles may have the defective spindle. Replacement parts will be provided and installed free of charge to individuals affected by the recall.
