Product recall
Dawes 2008 Discovery 601 and Giro 500
A possible defect has been detected in the stem fitted on the above bicycles. The casting around the stem mounting bolts may show signs of fatigue over time and crack, causing the stem to become loose from the steering column. As a precautionary measure, we are recalling the above bikes to allow new stems to be fitted. It is only these models affected in this recall as they share a common stem.
No other Dawes bikes are affected.
A new stem will be available week commencing 12th May 2008. You must stop using the bike immediately.
We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your co-operation.
What to do next:
Please return your bicycle to the dealer in which you bought it to carry out your re-fit.
If you cannot return the bike to the original dealer please input your postcode into our dealer locater to find you nearest Dawes stockist who can arrange the re-fit for you.
