The Hazard!
A customer can experience, under certain conditions, a loss of alignment between the handlebar and front wheel - this occurs after a certain period in service, usually when setting off from stationary or when under load, which can cause the rider to lose control of the steering, posing a fall hazard.
The bike has been tested against regulatory standards and compliance has been confirmed, but a customer can experience, under certain conditions, a loss of alignment between the handlebar and front wheel.
What to do...
A global recall has been issued by Brompton and there are 3 bikes affected in New Zealand - Brompton Bicycle Ltd have had confirmation that all these 3 bikes have been updated (2 by the retailer and 1 by a customer).
So, there is no further action required.
