If you own a 2014 Kona Wo fat bike, the company is reporting that you should stop riding it immediately. The recall is due to the potential for the fork to break where the steerer tube and fork crown meet which could obviously cause a crash. There has only been a single incidence of failure without injury at this point, but that is enough for Kona to issue a recall which will affect around 531 bikes equipped with the Kona Fat Project Two Disc Fork.
Wo owner should stop riding the bikes and contact their local Kona dealer for instructions on obtaining a new fork.
Consumers can contact Kona at (800) 566-2872 from 8:30 am – 5pm PT Monday through Friday or online at www.konaworld.com/wo_recall/ or email to wo-recall@konaworld.com for more information.
