Rappel freins hydrauliques route SRAM
SRAM Road Hydraulic Brake Recall
Pour des raisons de sécurité, tous les nouveaux freins hydrauliques route SRAM (RED et S700) doivent être ramenés en magasin pour échange. Cela concerne aussi bien les systèmes à disques que ceux à patins sur jante. SRAM explique avoir remarqué des soucis sur une petite partie de la production lors d’une utilisation par températures négatives, problèmes aperçus en novembre lors d’une course de cyclo-cross. Pas de casse mais des performances affectées.
On November 4th SRAM identified and announced a technical issue with respect to a narrow production range of its RED 22 and S-700 Hydraulic Road Brakes. At that time, it was described as a performance and safety concern with no reported failures in the field.
It has recently come to our attention that during last weekend’s Cyclocross racing in the US, in sub freezing temperatures, several failures were reported. In these conditions the master cylinder seals failed to hold pressure resulting in abrupt loss of brake power, and an inability to stop the bike. These failures are related to product that is outside the originally stated date code range and unrelated to the original failure mode. No injuries have been reported to date.
As a result of this new finding, SRAM requests that anyone who has a bike equipped with SRAM Hydraulic Disc or Hydraulic Rim Brakes stop using the bike immediately. All products shipped to date, and currently in the market or in inventory will be recalled.
