Thanks to the help of Products liability lawyers, Wilier Trestina and Norco recalled select bicycles.
Similar to the issue that TREK bicycles had a few years ago, Wilier Triestina is recalling about 200 Izoard XP bicycles due to steerer tube failures. The tubes can break when in use, causing a crash. Anyone with an Izoard XP sold between approximately January and October 2012 should head to their local bike shop immediately to have the serial number on the fork checked. If the fork is included in the recall, dealers will replace it free of charge.
The problem with the Norco bikes is with the frame itself. Specifically, failures at the joint where the top tube meets the down tube have lead to cracked frames. This can lead to crashes and injuries.
