SRAM 10SPD Chain Recall Sept.9, 09

Sram recalls bicycle chains with connectors that can crack
September 8, 2009 | 3:30 pm
About 24,000 Sram 10-Speed bicycle chains with PowerLock connector links are being recalled by Sram, a Chicago bicycle parts maker, because the connectors are brittle and can crack, allowing the chain to separate from the bicycle and causing the rider to fall.

Four incidents have been reported, including one in the United States, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said. No injuries have been reported, the agency said.

The recall involves Sram PowerLock connector links, which are sold individually, on 10-speed bicycle chains and as original equipment on some bicycles. The recalled PowerLock connector links are identified by a date code of M or N located on the side of the PowerLock connector link. Ten-speed SRAM chains that were equipped with recalled PowerLock connector links include the following chain model numbers: PC-1030, PC-1050, PC-1070, PC-1090 and PC-1090R.

The recalled chains also were installed on some Guru, Surly, Salsa, BMC, Serotta, Seven and Ridley brand bicycles. The individual PowerLock connectors and bike chains with these connectors were sold from January through August 2009. Bicycles with affected chains were sold from April 2009 through August 2009.

The items were manufactured in Portugal and sold at specialty bicycle stores nationwide. PowerLock connector links were sold separately for about $5 or as part of 10-speed chains for between $35 and $85.

The commission said consumers should immediately stop using the recalled PowerLock connectors, chains and bicycles with these connectors and contact their Sram retailer for replacement.
