Peloton Recalls 833,000 Bike+ Units Over Seat-Post Break Risk

Regulators cite a seat-post failure risk on the Original Series Bike+, prompting an immediate stop‑use order with free replacement posts.

Overview

  • The recall covers Original Series Bike+ model PL02 with serial numbers starting with the letter T, which owners can find inside or behind the front fork or behind the flywheel.
  • About 833,000 units were sold in the U.S. and roughly 44,800 in Canada, with no Canadian incidents reported as of Nov. 6.
  • The affected bikes were manufactured in Taiwan from 2019 to 2022 and sold from January 2020 through April 2025 via Peloton, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Amazon and eBay.
