Peloton is recalling 2.2 million of its exercise bikes due to the seat post breaking during use, the company announced Thursday.
Peloton has received 35 reports of the seat post breaking and detaching from its original bike, which led to 13 reports of injuries including a fractured wrist, lacerations and bruises, Peloton said in a news release.
Dick’s Sporting Goods and online stores including Peloton and Amazon sold these bikes from January 2018 through May 2023, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a news release Thursday. The recall only applies to bikes sold in the U.S.
“Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes and contact Peloton for a free repair,” the CPSC said.
Peloton is offering a free replacement seat post to customers who have the exercise bike.
Peloton said the move was a voluntary recall in cooperation with the CPSC.
The recall applies to Peloton’s original bike model. The model number is PL-01, and can be found on the inside front fork near the flywheel
