# Major Recall Alert: Crank Arms May Detach, Pose Fall Hazard for Cyclists in Canada
The safety of everyday cyclists is at the forefront of today’s major product recall. A crucial recall has been issued for crank arms that may become loose and detach from the bottom bracket, creating a significant fall hazard. While no reports of incidents or injuries have been made in Canada as of November 27, 2025, this proactive measure aims to ensure that every cyclist stays safe on the road or trail.
Details released by the Canadian recall authority stress the importance of addressing this problem quickly to avoid potential accidents. If you own a bike with the affected crank arms, it’s vital to review the recall information and take the necessary steps to protect yourself.
## Why This Recall is Important
Cycling—whether for recreation, commuting, or competitive sports—requires equipment that functions reliably and safely. Faulty crank arms could loosen and potentially detach mid-ride, significantly increasing the risk of an accident or fall, particularly at high speeds or on uneven terrain.
Even though no incidents have been reported so far, this type of defect could result in serious injuries if left ignored. Regular cyclists, companies, and repair shops must remain vigilant and check their equipment. This recall ensures that affected consumers can get free repairs or replacements, reducing the likelihood of preventable accidents.
