Marzocchi Recalls Bicycle Forks Due to Crash Hazard and Risk of Injury during Repair

危险说明 Hazard

• The suspension system on bikes with the recalled forks could become completely compressed and fail to return to its original position after a forceful landing. This can cause riders to lose control of the bicycle and crash. The forks can also expand forcefully if repair is attempted by the consumer, posing a risk of serious injury.
