CPSC, Reynolds Announce Voluntary Recall of Reynolds UL fork

voluntary recall in cooperation with MacLean Quality Composites, D.B.A.
Reynolds Cycling, located in West Jordan, Utah. Consumers should stop
using recalled products immediately unless otherwise instructed.
Hazard:
The bonding agent between aluminum dropouts/fork tips and composite fork
legs may loosen under certain extreme conditions. The loosened bond may
cause separation between the dropouts/fork tips and fork legs that could
cause the wheel to come loose from the fork while riding.
This is a voluntary recall. There have been no reported injuries related
to loosened dropouts.
