Trek® Bicycle Corporation is recalling nearly 1 million bikes in the U.S. for a safety issue that has caused multiple injuries.

An open quick release lever on the bicycle’s front wheel hub can come into contact with the front disc brake assembly, causing the front wheel to come to a sudden stop or separate from the bicycle, posing a risk of injury to the rider.

The Trek® bike recall affects nearly one million bicycles, including 900,000 in the U.S. and 98,000 in Canada.

Trek® reports three incidents, all including injuries. One incident resulted in quadriplegia. One incident resulted in facial injuries. One incident resulted in a fractured wrist.

The extensive recall affects all Trek bicycles manufactured between 2000 and 2015. All models of Trek bikes that have front disc brakes and a silver or black quick-release lever located on the hub of the front wheel are affected by this safety issue.

The recall does not affect bikes that have a quick-release lever that does not open wider than 180 degrees. The affected bikes range in price from $480 to $1,650.
