Cambridge Metal & Plastics Motorcycle Training Wheels Due to a Crash Hazard
The notice says to stop using it — see below for what to do.
What’s wrong
Bolts and nuts securing the wheel can loosen and cause the rider to lose control, posing a crash hazard.
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.
