Reported risk: This recall involves Ritchey Carbon Fiber Bicycle Forks with a crown hole. The fork fits on the front of the bicycle to hold the front wheel in place. The fork is sold individually and with certain Ritchey bicycle framesets. The framesets were sold as Montebello (Hot sauce color), Septimer (Black & White color) and Outback (Aurora and Winter Sage color). The individual black carbon forks were sold as WCS Carbon Mountain Adventure Fork, WCS Carbon Brevet Road Fork, WCS Carbon Adventure Gravel Fork and WCS Carbon Tapered Adventure Gravel Fork. The brand name "Ritchey" is located on the fork. Hazards: The alloy insert located in the front crown hole of the carbon fork can come loose, causing an accessory to fall off and land on the bike's front wheel, posing a risk of serious injury or death from a fall and crash hazard.
