Peloton is recalling over 2 million bikes, warning that the bike seat post assembly could break and cause users to fall.
Bike Model PL01, also known as the original Peloton bike, is the one being recalled. Users are told to immediately stop using the bike and call Peloton for a free replacement bike seat post.
There have been 35 reports of people falling off their bikes with 13 injuries, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Peloton said bike models can be identified by a label on the inside front fork of the bike, near its flywheel or by its non-swivel display. Recalled bikes also have a red "P" logo on the bike with the Peloton brand name in white on the bike frame.
The CPSC said bikes involved in the recall were manufactured in Taiwan, retailed for approximately $1,400 and were only sold in the U.S. between January 2018 and May 2023 at Peloton and Dick's Sporting Goods stores and online at Peloton's website, Amazon and Dick's Sporting Goods' website. Peloton also added the recall doesn't apply to their bikes that were sold overseas.
