2014 SR Suntour Fork Dropout Recall (Scott)
In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Scott has voluntarily issued a safety recall on its bicycles made with SR Suntour suspension forks.
The recall issue
These bicycles have been recalled because the fork dropouts can break. If this happens, it poses a fall hazard to riders. The recalled Scott bikes were sold at authorized Scott dealers nationwide between October 2010 and November 2013 for between $450 and $1,100.
There has been 1 reported incident of a broken fork. No injuries were reported.
How to identify if you have this fork
