Peloton has issued a recall for over 2 million of its exercise bikes in the United States due to the risk of the bike’s seat post assembly breaking during use, which could cause injury to the user. The recall applies to approximately 2.2 million Peloton Bikes Model PL01 sold in the U.S. between January 2018 and May 2023, at a price of around $1,400.

The bikes were available for purchase at Peloton and Dick’s Sporting Goods stores nationwide, as well as on Amazon, Peloton, and Dick’s websites.

According to Peloton, it has received 35 reports of the seat post breaking and detaching from the bike during use, resulting in 13 injuries, including lacerations, bruises, and a fractured wrist. However, the Peloton original Bike in the U.K., Germany, and Australia, as well as the Peloton Bike+, are not affected by the recall.

Consumers in the United States who own the affected Peloton Bikes Model PL01 are advised to stop using the exercise bikes immediately and to contact Peloton for a free repair.
