Peloton recommends checking your local municipality’s recycling guidance for disposal options for metal parts related to the old seat post. Only one seat post replacement will be offered for each Peloton original Bike. (The company said that it is “in discussions on this issue with the regulator in Canada and will have an update for our Members in Canada within the coming days.”)Ī Peloton spokesperson said that the new seat post can be installed at home (video) without the need for a service call. The recall does not affect the Peloton Bike+, nor does it affect Peloton original Bikes sold in Australia, Germany, and the UK. Impacted models can be identified by labeling near the flywheel, on the bike’s frame where a red “P” logo is followed by “Peloton” in white lettering and the bike’s non-swivel display. In an email, a Peloton representative said that 2,160,000 original Bikes have been sold in the US since 2018. Owners of a recalled Peloton Bike can now request a free seat post replacement. The CPSC advises owners to “immediately stop” using recalled Peloton Bikes. Peloton has identified 35 reports of broken seat posts so far, including 13 reports of related injuries such as “a fractured wrist, lacerations and bruises due to falling from the bike,” according to the CPSC. The recall stems from concerns surrounding a seat post that can break during use, possibly leading to falls and injury. The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the fitness company Peloton today issued a voluntary recall of some 2.2 million original Peloton Bikes (model PL-01) sold in the US between January 2018 and May 2023. Do you own a Peloton Bike? It may be one of millions that have been recalled.
