WASHINGTON, March 9, 2021 – According to a press release from PRNewswire and a product recall warning from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Haro Bicycles has initiated a recall of its Gran Corsa and Masi Evoluzione Bicycles due to a defect causing a potential hazard and risk of injury. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the affected bicycles’ fork-steerer tube might break, making the bicycle’s rider lose control, fall from the bike, and sustain injuries. Haro Bicycles has received five incident reports that state the bicycle forks broke. Three of the incident reports involve the rider sustaining injuries.
The fork-steerer tube defect affects some 2017-2020 Haro Bicycles “Masi Evoluzione” and “Gran Corsa” bicycles. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recall alert, the following is a list of the recalled bikes.
The recalled Haro Bicycles have carbon fiber steering tubes and carbon fiber frames with carbon fiber forks. The “Masi” logo is located on the bike’s frame and forks. The bicycle’s model name is printed on the front section of the top tube and on the bicycle’s frame.
The bicycles were sold in bicycle specialty stores, including Erik’s Bikes and Fitness stores, and Sun and Ski from December 2016 through February 2021 at a price between $1,400 and $6,200.
Those who purchased the recalled bike should immediately stop riding the affected bicycles, contact a local Haro Bicycles dealer to receive a free bike inspection, and receive a free repair or free fork and compression plug replacement.
