What the record says
- Product
- This recall involves 2022 Santa Cruz Heckler 9 model electric bicycles (e-bikes), which were sold in Gloss Avocado Green or Maritime Gray colors. They come with an interchangeable 720WH battery that sits inside a black case under the frame. The name "SANTA CRUZ" is printed on the sides of the downtube of the bicycle frame, and "Heckler" is printed on the top tube of the frame and on the inside of the left chainstay on the frame.
- Reason
- The latch mechanism that holds the battery in place can malfunction, causing the battery to dislodge from the frame and fall to the ground, posing a fall hazard to the rider. Additionally, the latch spring can cause additional wear on the battery housing over time, posing a fire hazard.
