I have a Cannondale CAADX from 2016 and I have just become aware of the recall on the forks that occurred a few years ago (2020 I believe).
I haven't ridden the bike much in the past few years since the recall and when I did it was on road, but have recently been riding it on bumpier off road terrain. Would it therefore be safe to continue riding the bike on the assumption of it hasn't failed by now it's OK, or should the forks still be replaced as per the original recall notice? If they should be replaced, is this something that my local dealer should still be able to help with do you think? I just called my local dealer and they didn't seem that keen on helping but maybe that's because it's the end of the day.
I also don't know how one is supposed to become aware of these recalls. I only discovered it because I was watching a CADE Media YT video when they were talking about previous bikes they owned and one of them had the same bike and mentioned the recall. So until this afternoon I was completely unaware of any issue at all, but now I'm a little nervous.
