I noticed this, and it is a popular fork.

@Undercover Brother - could you let us know if any of the Easy Motion 2015 (and I guess 2014) ebike models in North America are affected? Copying @Crazy Lenny Ebikes

Edited to add: NEX forks 700c size may be affected. My ebike has the NEX but I have 26" tires.

Suntour is usually good at listing the forks in a recall, at least they were last time! I had a hybrid (non-e) bike fork recalled. The worrying thing is that this has happened before. It's no fun getting the repair and MANY bike owners were upset that the replacement fork paint didn't match. As I recall only two colors were offered to match all.

@PowerMe,
I will check with our rep and as well as Suntour. If it needs to be replaced, we will send you a replacement.
