國外論壇看到的

我大概翻一下

此次招回的產品為 2009年TCR Advanced SL 有/無ISP的"前叉"

其全碳纖的前叉轉向管(steerer tube)可能經由騎乘產生裂痕

總共影響了大約1000台車

其它非SL的TCR車系 (TCR, TCR Alliance, TCR Advanced) 不在此列



上圖為前叉serial number的位置

最末碼為"B","N","P"不在此次召回的範圍內

影響到的車主應立即停止騎乘

並可至Giant授權經銷店免費檢測並更換新前叉

-------

這是捷安特在美國加州發布的召回

台灣跟其他地區的車主應該是沒有影響到

也該給捷安特身為國際大廠對自家產品負責的態度給予正面肯定
