Fox Shox Issues Voluntary Recall of Certain 2013 Evolution 32mm and 34mm Forks

ohhh phones will be ringing off the hook at your LBS.

Somehow I don’t see a customer who just spent $$$ on a bike last year feeling like he/she should have to do all the work. I won’t be surprised if we get some work coming our way.

Hello Taiwan production! Fox is going the Marzocchi route step by step.

@ Fatso: work on your reading comprehension: “A small batch of the approximately 42,000 forks identified in the recall………are prone to failing under particular circumstances”

A small batch of the 42,000 forks identified, not ALL 42,000 identified. Only some of the 42,000 forks.

I’ve been pretty disappointed in my 100mm Evolution Series fork, but unfortunately it’s not included in the recall. Apparently, mine is a failure by design and not defect. Does anybody know what specifically has been failing in the recalled forks?

The new pike is having some issues too. People who think that one brand is superior over another is just silly. I got the new pike and had to have it replace because the of the bushing. This also have happened to my 12 World Cup Revelation fork too.

@CXisfun – nope, you are wrong. Read the CPSC recall and understand how recalls are done. 42,000 objects in public circulation are affected.

@ CXisfun

“A small batch of the 42,000 forks identified, not ALL 42,000 identified. Only some of the 42,000 forks.”

42,000 are susceptible to recall – a small batch in that 42,000 have been identified but all 42,000 where created the same way. ALL 42,000 forks will get a new dampener if requested, thus is a recall.

Fox is handling this the correct way. Not all forks will break but why not just get people the new parts anyway.

Thank you for confirming my point 🙂

@Fatso: you’re still missing it. The phrase “small batch” isn’t referring to all 42,000 forks, it’s referring to the ones prone to failing. The sentence isn’t saying 42,000 is a small batch.

@Big Cow – I understand that all 42,000 are under recall. But the quote in question isn’t saying that 42,000 are a “small batch”, it’s saying a “small batch” OF THE 42,000 are prone to failing.

Fatso was under the impression that the article is calling 42,000 forks a “small batch”. In fact, it is not calling all 42,000 forks a “small batch”, it’s calling the forks that are prone to damage a “small batch” of the 42,000 total forks being recalled.

“High pointer – 10/22/13 – 10:43pm

What is bad is these are the American made models. Not Taiwan.”

The Evolution models are made in the USA? I think they’re just assembled in the US.

I’m having problems with my Evolution 32 120mm forks. Damping seems off somehow? Diving all over the place, bottoming out and bouncing over small bumps even on full rebound damping?! I’ve had a Fox Talas in the past which I TFTuned and this was sublime. I hoped my Evolution fork was faulty but alas not included in the recall. I’ll be contacting Mojo for a possible solution as I feel the bike I’ve bought is potentially dangerous as a result. 3 offs in 5 months, 2 offs in 5 years prior to buying the bike with these forks.
