Two years ago Peloton recalls seatposts on their classic bike models. Now the brand is doing the same for the seats of its older Bike+ models (but not the new ones). Cross Training Bike+, released a few weeks ago.).
If you have old model Bike+you'll need to contact Peloton to arrange a replacement.
Which Peloton models are affected by the recall?
Per PelotonThis is a voluntary recall of seatposts for Bike+ models manufactured between December 2019 and July 2022 and sold in the United States and Canada. If your Bike+ has model number PL02 on the label inside, behind the front fork or behind the flywheel, it will be affected by the recall. If you have checked and are still not sure, follow this link for more information.
Why is a recall happening?
As with the previous recall of classic Bike seats, this issue involves the Bike+ seatpost, which Peloton says “may break during use, creating a potential risk of falls and injury to consumers.”
What are your thoughts so far?
The situation appears to be less serious than the previous recall, when at least 11 people were injured due to faulty struts. Peloton says it received three reports of seat failures among about 833,000 units in the U.S., but there were no reports of seat failures among nearly 45,000 units in Canada.
