The F78113 Thru Axle M6 Connector is being recalled by ORTLIEB Sportartikel GmbH because of a manufacturing error in the thread pitch. Some connectors were made with a 1.75 mm thread pitch instead of the correct 1.5 mm. This discrepancy can cause damage to the bike frame if the connector is forced into place, potentially compromising wheel stability and increasing the risk of falls or injuries for cyclists.
The recall affects products from batch number B242069, with approximately 11 units sold in the Republic of Ireland. Retailers involved include Cyclesuperstore in Tallaght and Penny Farthing in Dublin. Consumers are advised to check their connectors by measuring the thread pitch or comparing it to their original thru axle to determine if they have an affected product.
Customers should stop using the recalled axle immediately. If the thread pitch does not match, it is likely that the product is defective. Those with faulty axles or uncertainties should contact the Ortlieb service team for assistance, which may include a free replacement or refund.
