Dear SRAM Customer: You may have a bicycle equipped with Avid\u00ae Single Digit\u00ae 7 mechanical rim brakes.<\/p>\n
These brakes are the subject of a safety recall. If your bike has Avid Single Digit 7 brakes, PLEASE STOP RIDING YOUR BIKE until you determine whether your brake is part of the recall.<\/p>\n
Some of the affected brakes may have been manufactured with rivets which may work loose from the brake unit which can cause one of the two brakes to fail. If a bicycle is operated with brakes only on one wheel, the bicycle may experience extended stopping distance or otherwise brake in a manner that is unexpected by the rider. You could crash or fall from the bicycle.<\/p>\n
To determine if your brakes are part of the recall, check the date code on the back of the brake arm. The affected brakes will have a date code between June 1, 2014 and May 26, 2017. In addition, the Avid Single Digit 7 brakes were only sold in black.<\/p>\n
