(Waterloo WI) Trek Bicycle, in coordination with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, has announced a recall of all Allant+ 7 e-bike models with Tektro brakes. Trek is recalling these bicycles because the brake hose manufactured by Tektro can get damaged if it interferes with the headlight or headlight mounting bracket. If the brake hose is cut, it could result in loss of rear brake hose function. If this happens while you are riding, you could lose control of the bicycle and fall. Details of the recall can be found here.

As part of this recall, Trek is asking consumers to take the following steps: Do not ride the bicycle. Please contact your local Trek retailer to schedule a service appointment for inspection and/or repair, as needed. Trek will provide you—through an authorized Trek retailer—a replacement headlight mounting bracket and rear brake hose, if warranted, at no cost to you. In addition, when you bring your affected bicycle to a Trek retailer, Trek will give you a $10US/ $13CAD in-store credit that can be used toward any Trek or Bontrager merchandise. The credit is good through December 31, 2023 and has no cash value.
