WCS and PRO Crank Voluntary Recall

Subject:
Ritchey WCS and PRO Crank Voluntary Recall (LEFT ARM ONLY)

Ritchey Design has identified a potential safety issue concerning WCS
and PRO Level Non-Drive Side Crank Arms (LEFT ARM ONLY). In certain
cases, it is possible that the non-drive crank arm could fail or
break unexpectedly. If this happens during cycling, the cyclist may
lose control of the bicycle, which could lead to serious injury.
Because Ritchey Design products are designed meet the highest
industry standards, as a preventive action, and in the interests of
putting the safety of its consumers first, Ritchey Design has decided
to undertake a voluntary recall of all affected Non-drive Crank arms.

The (right-side) drive crank arm is not affected by this issue. The
reinforcement from the spiders lend the necessary strength to the
design to prevent breakages. We have received zero reports of drive
side arm breakages.

Models affected:
All affected cranks are black finished with a silver machined face or
are solid black color.
(Any Ritchey crank that is silver is NOT affected.)
