The product
The recalled pedals are black or gray. They are made of composite material and are mounted to either a steel or titanium pedal axle and bearing unit by using a threaded aluminum bearing cap. Pedals that have a gold dot on the underside of the pedal body just inside where the bearing cap is mounted to the pedal body are not included in this recall.
What can happen
The pedal's bearing cap can fail causing the pedal to come off the bicycle. This poses a fall hazard for riders.
