Ritchey Design would like to remind users of a voluntary recall initiated earlier this season.

Ritchey Design has identified a potential safety issue concerning WCS and PRO level non-drive side crank arms (LEFT ARM ONLY). In certain cases, it is possible that the non-drive crank arm could fail or break unexpectedly. If this happens during cycling, the cyclist may lose control of the bicycle, which could lead to serious injury. Because Ritchey Design products are designed to meet the highest industry standards, as a preventive action, and in the interests of putting the safety of its consumers first, Ritchey Design has decided to undertake a voluntary recall of all affected non-drive side crank arms.

The (right-side) drive crank arm is not affected by this issue. The reinforcement from the spiders lend the necessary strength to the design to prevent breakages. We have received zero reports of drive side arm breakages.
