Park Tool issues Crank Puller recall notice

Park Tool has issued a Stop Use and Inspect Notice for their CCP-22, CCP-44 and CWP-7 crank pullers due to an out-of-spec nut that is shared between the 3 tools.

This out-of-spec threading may cause damage to bicycle cranks during removal. Some, but not all, tools sold between October 2021 and April 2022 may be affected.

PART NUMBERS AFFECTED: Park Tool CCP-22, CCP-44 and CWP-7 Crank Pullers.

MANUFACTURED DATE: Some, but not all, tools purchased between October 2021 and April 2022 may be affected.

INSPECTION OF TOOL: To see if your tool is affected, locate the nut on each of the tools per the images below and inspect the threading.

 

 

Tools side by side: flat thread on left, which is faulty, good thread on the right for comparison

Bad threads will have a flat peak, and the improper thread peaks will extend almost halfway down the threading of the nut.

The non-affected tools have sharper and consistent thread peaks throughout the length of the nut, as shown in the picture.

In the UK Madison are the distributor of Park Tool, with the Customer Care team and Sales Representatives the point of contact for retailers with affected tools.
