What was recalled

Trainers are folding stands that lift and apply resistance to the rear wheel of a standard bike which converts it to a stationary trainer. The CenturyV trainers are gloss black with red and white decals running vertically along the rear face of the rear support legs. The left leg has an additional vertical red "Travel Trac CenturyV" decal. The Travel Trac Mag Force+ has gray front legs and red rear legs. The right rear leg has a large vertical decal on its rear face with "Mag Force" in large yellow letters and "Travel Trac" in small white letters. The recalled models' UPC and item numbers are printed on the packaging. The item number is also printed on the bottom of the last page of the owner's manual. The following are the recalled models: Model Item # UPC Travel Trac CenturyV Fluid 40-2317 400012288654 Travel Trac CenturyV Fluid+ 40-2318 400012289804 Travel Trac CenturyV Mag+ 40-2319 400012289989 Travel Trac Mag Force+ 40-2323 400012290206
