Brompton has recalled the T line folding bike model because of a steering fault.
The T line is the model with a titanium frame and carbon fibre components.
The steerer clamp on the affected bikes can become loose, causing the handlebar support and fork to become misaligned which can lead to a loss of steering control.
There is a risk of crash and serious injury if the rider loses steering control while the bike is in use.
Consumers should stop using the bikes immediately and visit https://global.brompton.com/legal/t-line-recall to identify whether their bike is affected.
Consumers can have the repair carried out free of charge at a Brompton dealer.
The affected bikes were manufactured before 21 June 2024 and have a serial number ranging from 2104190001 to 2406070001. The ‘T’ logo for T line bikes and the serial number can be found on the label on the back of the vertical seat tube.
Consumers who have a bicycle torque wrench and are comfortable completing the repair themselves should follow the instructions on the recall website to tighten their steerer clamp hinge bolts.
Consumers who are not comfortable completing the repair themselves or who may not be able to visit a Brompton dealer can contact Brompton for assistance in arranging a repair. Contact details can be found here: https://global.brompton.com/support/contact-us/email
Consumers should verify if their bike has been repaired by searching the Serial Number Tracker, or register if the bike repair has been completed at https://global.brompton.com/legal/t-line-recall
The bikes were sold nationally (Brompton Junction Melbourne and Omafiets Sydney) and internationally between 1 Feb 2022-24 Jul 2024.
