Details
What's wrong: The axle shaft wall thickness may not have been manufactured according to specifications.
Why it matters: If the wall thickness was not sufficient, the axle shaft could deform and could break increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the front wheel quick-release axle and replace it with an improved axle free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during June 2009.
