RockShox ruft 2008er und 2009er Domain Freeridegabeln zurück. Es sind nur die Gabeln mit Stahl-Steuerrohr betroffen – ob deine eigene Gabel ein Stahl oder Alu-Steuerrohr hat kannst du leicht auf der Unterseite der Gabelkrone mit einem Magnet prüfen (bei Stahl hält der Magnet…).
Es sind Gabeln betroffen, die zwischen diesen beiden Datum Codes liegen 09T8XXXXXXX – 42T8XXXXXXX. Den Code findest du eingelasert auf der Rückseite der Gabelkrone. Wenn deine Gabel dann dummerweise betroffen ist, wende dich an deinen Händler, der sich dann um den Austausch kümmert.
Hier der komplette Rückruftext:

It is imperative that you forward this communication to the retailers that either; received bikes with this fork or
received a fork for aftermarket sale; all of the potentially affected forks need to be retrieved from the field.
