Sram is recalling 29-inch Rockshox suspension forks. As the lower dip tube unit can break, the affected components of individual Lyrik and Yari forks will be replaced free of charge. According to the manufacturer, only around 840 suspension forks are affected worldwide.
According to the manufacturer, only the Rockshox Lyrik and Yari suspension forks, each in the 29-inch Boost version, with the serial numbers 02T95514009 to 08T96214665 are affected by the recall and The dip tube units are labelled with the so-called casting codes "18" and "O" or "19" and "A".
The serial numbers of the forks are located on the back of the fork crown, the casting codes are hidden in the recesses between the stiffening ribs of the connecting web of both fork tubes, see picture.
Forks with other serial numbers or other casting codes as well as the 27.5-inch models are not affected, according to Sram. The forks were sold individually in the so-called after-market and fitted as standard in individual Canyon, Kona, Norco, Scott and Trek bikes, in Europe probably only in Trek, Norco and Kona. More information on the Sram website.
The manufacturer emphasises that there have been no cases of damage or injured parties to date, that this is a long-term fatigue problem and that Sram has initiated the recall based on its own test results. The material fatigue is due to a production error that only affects a small part of production, not a newly designed component.
