Salsa issues stem recall
If anyone has purchased a bike made by Salsa in the past two years, there has been a stem recall.
The stems were painted to match and included as original equipment on the following bikes; Salsa La Cruz, Casseroll Singlespeed, Casseroll Triple, El Mariachi, and Ala Carte bicycles sold from November 5, 2007 to December 31, 2008.
The recall also includes both road and mountain aftermarket stems in all extensions and rises, except the 60mm, 70mm and 80mm extension lengths. Aftermarket stems were painted black and were sold from March 31, 2008 to December 31, 2008.
You can see a full list of affected models and bikes that were sold with the stem and download a consumer alert poster here.
Consumers should contact the place of purchase to discuss replacement options.
