On May 11th 2023, Peloton announced a voluntary recall of original Peloton model Bikes sold from January 2018 to May 2023 in the US. This voluntary recall is being conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).

The Peloton original Bike model can be identified by its PL-01 model number on the label located on the inside front fork (near the flywheel), the red “P” logo followed by the white-colored Peloton brand name on the bike’s frame, and by its non-swivel display. As part of our commitment to product safety, we are voluntarily recalling the seat post of affected units to provide a free replacement seat post.

This voluntary recall only applies to the Peloton original Bike sold in the US. This matter does not affect international and North America Bike+ nor international Peloton original Bikes.

REASON FOR RECALL: The original Peloton Bike seat post can break unexpectedly during use, creating a potential fall and injury risk. Peloton has identified 35 reports (as of April 30, 2023) of seat posts breaking out of 2,160,000 units sold in the US. There have been 13 reports of injuries, including a wrist fracture, lacerations and bruises.

Peloton is offering a free replacement seat post to Members in the US that can be installed at home without the need for a service call. Only one seat post replacement will be offered per Bike.
