 Posted: Wed 26/Nov/08 6:53pm Post subject: Rockshox Domain Recall! |
  |
|
Warning, warning, warning!
Guys it's recall time, THE FAILURE DOES PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE. For this reason RockShox are putting in place an official RECALL and replacement process. SRAM has issued a recall of certain RockShox Domain 302 and 318 fork models produced with a steel steerer tube. The manufacturer has determined there is a potential for the steerer tube to fail..........Domain Production Codes to look out for: 09T8XXXXXXX to 42T8XXXXXXX. The production code is located on the fork crown.
SRAM is retrieving these RockShox Domain forks from the marketplace. Consumers with these forks should stop using them immediately and return the fork to dealers for verification of steerer material and serial number. Forks with steel steerers within the concerned date range should be replaced with a similar model fork by dealers who will be refunded.
SRAM Dealer Action-
SRAM Dealers should contact their regional distributor or SRAM DSD (Germany, Austria and Switzerland only) to obtain a return number for a replacement fork. Distributor info can be found at www.sram.com/en/locator/distributors.php
The steerer tube material is visible under the center of the crown. A magnet placed on the inside of the steerer tube can be used to identify the material of the tube. Forks produced with aluminum steerer tubes are not affected by this recall.
Domain Production Codes to look out for:
09T8XXXXXXX to 42T8XXXXXXX.
The production code is located on the fork crown.

I always remove mine with an angle grinder - it's a weight saving measure.

These would be OEM forks and not ones you bought from your LBS, the after market ones sold here have alloy steerers. But if your bike came with em on then check. Also if you didnt buy from your LBS then check.

Yes - something worth looking into - my forks snapped the steerer early this year. I was very lucky not to be seriously injured. NOT a fault you want to risk!

Who would sell OEM products as aftermarket anyway?

It affects about EIGHT (yup, that's right) forks brought into the country through legit channels.
As for the rest, who the hell knows?
