Tektro USA and TRP Recall Bicycle Mechanical Disc Brake Calipers Due to Crash Hazard

[Aushiker]

Posting this more as a heads-up in case anyone has these fitted by chance.

This recall includes Spyre and Spyre SLC dual-piston mechanical disc brake calipers sold as original and aftermarket equipment in 2013. Spyre calipers have a black anodized caliper body and a silver actuator arm with “Spyre” on it. Spyre SLC calipers have a polished aluminum caliper body and a black composite actuator arm with “Spyre SLC” on it. Recalled calipers have a fastening screw with a hollow six-pointed star-shaped head with no markings on it and a 3 millimeter pad adjust screw on the outward side. The recalled calipers were also sold as original equipment on bicycles manufactured or distributed by BTI, Diamond Back Bicycles, Giant Bicycles, Hans Johnson Co (HJC), Kona, Marin Bikes, Quality Bicycle Products, Raleigh America

Hmm, thanks Andrew! I've ridden a bunch of ebikes with Tektro mechanical disc brakes. Good looking out
