Voluntary Recall Notice
FAG Bottom Bracket cartridge BB66 (April 2014 – May 2017)
Through our warranty and quality assurance process we have become aware of an issue affecting a component manufactured between April 2014 – May 2017.
The axle of the 3rd party supplied FAG Bottom Bracket has had higher than expected reported incidence of failure. Although this still meets international safety standards this does not meet the standards which Brompton sets for its components.
We have therefore initiated a programme to recall all affected bikes and replace the bottom bracket cartridge with a new and tested part, free of charge to all of our affected customers.
It is possible to identify if your bike is affected by using the checker on our website or referring to the serial number. The serial number can be found on a curved plate applied to the frame, as shown in the image below:
