"Trek has issued a recall that affects approximately 700 of its 2026 electric road and gravel bikes. Citing a potential issue with chainring bolt installation that could result in "crash hazards," select bikes across four models- Domane+ ALR 5, Domane+ ALR 6 AXS, Checkpoint+ SL 6, and Checkpoint+ SL 7 -are subject to the recall. After apparently not being torqued to spec during assembly, riders are warned that their chainring bolts may loosen over time, potentially resulting in the chainring detaching and putting riders at increased risk of a crash."
"Trek has advised owners of the affected models to stop riding immediately and bring their bike to the nearest authorized Trek dealer for inspection. The fix is straightforward, and as an added incentive, Trek is offering $20 in in-store credit to riders who complete the service before the end of the year. At this time, there have been reports of loose chainrings, but no injuries or crashes as a result. Owners can check to see if their bike is among the affected bunch by checking their serial number on Trek's safety recall page."
Trek is recalling about 700 of its 2026 electric road and gravel bikes across four models: Domane+ ALR 5, Domane+ ALR 6 AXS, Checkpoint+ SL 6, and Checkpoint+ SL 7. The chainring bolts on affected bikes may not have been torqued to specification during assembly, allowing them to loosen over time and potentially cause the chainring to detach, creating crash hazards. Owners of affected bikes are instructed to stop riding immediately and take their bikes to an authorized Trek dealer for inspection and free repair. Trek is offering $20 in-store credit for service completed before year-end. No injuries have been reported; owners can verify affected serial numbers on Trek's safety recall page and are reminded to routinely check bolts.
