The coaster brakes on some Trek Precaliber bicycles and service wheels could fail and have been recalled.
The grease inside the coaster brakes does not adequately lubricate the surface, which could cause the brakes to wear faster and damage the brakes.
There is a risk of crash and serious injury if the brakes fail during use and cause a fall.
Stop using the affected Trek Precaliber bicycles and service wheels immediately.
