Reported risk: The recalled forks were used on the front suspension of the BikeE FX models and on the full suspension of the RX models. The 2000 and 2001 model year bicycles can be identified by a serial number located below the crank bottom bracket on the frame. Model Name Serial Number Identification FX and RX Starts with "F" and is followed by five digits or starts with "B" followed by one character and six digits. Examples: F1111 or BF111111 or BR22222F The recalled bicycles have a lowered seating position and foot pedals right below the handle bars, allowing riders to sit in a horizontal riding position. Hazards: The link pins in the forks can fall out, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and possibly suffer serious injuries.
