Marzocchi Recalls Bicycle Forks Due to Crash Hazard and Risk of Injury during Repair

Hazard

The suspension system on bikes with the recalled forks could become completely compressed and fail to return to its original position after a forceful landing. This can cause riders to lose control of the bicycle and crash. The forks can also expand forcefully if repair is attempted by the consumer, posing a risk of serious injury.
