Child bicycle trailers |
| Description |
This recall involves seven models of Burley Design child bicycle trailers manufactured from 2009 to 2015. The trailers allow cyclists to tow children behind their bicycles while riding. The trailers are connected to the bicycle by a tow bar, which attaches to the rear axle of the bicycle on one end and to a tow bar receiver on the trailer at the other end. The tow bar receiver is on the front left side of the trailer as it faces the rear wheel of the bicycle. Recalled trailers have a black plastic tow bar receiver with an integrated wheel guard. Recalled trailers can be identified by the first four characters of the serial numbers on the trailer. The serial number is on a sticker in the rear cargo area behind the seat of the trailer on the left inside frame bar. The following seven trailer models and serial numbers are being recalled: Model (Serial Numbers) : Cub (K943,) Rental Cub (K943,) DLite and DLite ST (D948 and K948,) Encore (K942) and Solo and Solo ST (D939, K939 and KK939. Trailers with aluminum tow bar receivers are not included in the recall. |
