Bergamont issues voluntary recall for Belami Lite and Monolite
BERGAMONT/SCOTT is voluntarily issuing a worldwide recall on BERGAMONT BELAMI LITE 2011 and BERGAMONT MONOLITE 2010 bicycles after finding that the frame can break, creating a possible fall hazard.
According to the brand, load peaks can occur when used as intended which can lead to a fracturing of the frame in the area of the welded joint between the large-volume central down tube and the narrow connecting tube, which is welded in between the head tube and down tube. This failure may cause the rider to immediately lose control over the bicycle, resulting in a potential severe injury.
The recall affects the following models:
– Belami Lite N8 Suspension 28″ shiny white 2011
– Belami Lite N8 Suspension 28″ matt black 2011
