Reported risk: This recall involves 16.5-, 18- and 19-inch Slayer and Edge full-suspension mountain bicycles. The Slayer model is black metallic with red decals on the top tube and downtube, that read "Slayer" and "Rocky Mountain." The Edge model is royal blue with yellow decals on the top tube and downtube, that read "Edge" and Rocky Mountain." "Made in Canada" is printed on decals on both model bicycles. Bicycles with the letter "S" stamped on the chainstay yoke are not involved in this recall. Hazards: The chainstay that holds the rear wheel in place can fail, causing the rear wheel to separate from the bicycle. This can cause the rider to lose control and crash.
