According to the company, the steering damping on some of these cargo bikes has been found to be too weak in individual assembly batches. In combination with an unfavourable riding situation, it is therefore possible in individual cases for the front wheel to wobble and, in extreme cases, for the clamping of the steering cable to loosen. This can be dangerous and lead to falls. "The assembly inaccuracy in the steering area can only be clearly identified in very few vehicles. Nevertheless Riese & Müller Riese & Müller has decided in favour of a broad communication channel to ensure that all vehicles meet the extremely high safety standards and that any risk of injury is avoided.
For this reason, all Packster 70 bikes delivered to date are to be checked in the bike workshop. According to Riese & Müller, all specialist retail partners who have sold a corresponding bike have been informed of the recall and asked to arrange immediate service appointments with customers.
