If the wrong bolt that holds the front fender to the fork crown is installed during assembly, the bolt can unthread and the fender can fall on the front wheel. If this happens, the bike can stop suddenly, and the rider could be involved in a serious accident.

Your safety is very important to us. Therefore, Trek will inspect your bicycle, and if the wrong bolt is installed, replace it free of charge. This letter contains important information regarding what to do next if you think you may have purchased one of these bicycles.

DO NOT RIDE YOUR BICYCLE UNTIL THE FRONT FENDER BOLT HAS BEEN INSPECTED

If the bolt holding the front fender to the fork crown unthreads while riding, the rider could fall. Do not ride this bicycle until it has been inspected by your dealer.

WHAT TREK WILL DO FOR OWNERS OF A RECALLED BICYCLE

If the wrong bolt is found in the inspection, your retailer will order a replacement bolt and notify you when it is available. The inspection and replacement will be conducted free of charge.

In addition, when you bring in your Super Commuter+ 8S for inspection, Trek will give you an in-store credit of $100 to use toward any Trek or Bontrager merchandise.
