The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
The locking hardware on the front wheel can become loose resulting in front wheel instability, posing fall and injury hazards.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
