STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — If you own a Peloton Bike with model number PL01, you are advised to immediately stop using the exercise machine and contact the company for a free repair.
Nearly 2.2 million Peloton exercise bikes have been recalled after the company received 35 reports of the seat breaking and detaching from the bike during use — 13 of which resulted in injuries, including a fractured wrist, lacerations and bruises due to falling from the bike, according to the recall notice.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported that the bike’s seat can break post-assembly during use, posing fall and injury hazards.
The bikes, measuring four feet long and two feet wide, have an adjustable seat, handlebar and screen, which tilts up and down to accommodate different heights. They were sold at Peloton and Dick’s Sporting Goods stores nationwide and online at Onepeloton.com, Amazon.com and Dicksportinggoods.com from January 2018 through May 2023 for about $1,400.
The Peloton name and model number can be found on the inside front fork, near the flywheel of the bike.
Consumers should not use the bikes until they contact Peloton for a free repair. Peloton is offering consumers a free seat post that can be self-installed.
To place an order for a replacement seat post, visit Peloton’s website.
