What was recalled

These are Mongoose aluminum 20-inch-wheel, D-XR AL, dual-suspension mountain bicycles. They have model number "R1590WMET" written on the service sticker, located on the bottom bracket tube near the pedals. The bicycles are silver and red colored. "Mongoose" and "DXR AL" are on the frame of the bicycles. Only Mongoose 20-inch D-XR bicycles with aluminum frames are included this recall. Bicycles with steel frames are not included.

Hazard

The rear shock absorber allows the aluminum dual-suspension frame to flex severely, causing the frame to become unstable and break, posing the risk of injury to riders.

Injuries

Pacific Cycle Inc. has received two reports of the frames on these bicycles breaking, resulting in abrasions and bruises to the rider.

Made in

China

Where it was sold
