URGENT: ZOOM Handlebar Safety Recall/Affected CELL Road Bike

[Daryl]

Just got this via a bike email distribution:

URGENT NOTICE!
ZOOM HANDLEBAR RECALL.
CELL Bikes are doing a voluntary recall of certain batches of road bikes sold between mid-September 2008 and 27th February 2009.
Models that may be affected include: S2200, Blade, Swift and Team.
Please check the Serial Number under the bottom bracket to see if it falls between the following numbers:

S2200................QL8C0201 to QL8C0400
BLADE/SWIFT...Q18C0051 to Q18C0300
SWIFT 2009......Q18J0001 to Q118J0150
TEAM 2008........IR8C0411 to IR8C0560
TEAM 2009........IR810001 to IR810200

The ZOOM handlebar factory have identified the problem as being the cable groove on the top of the handlebar as being too deep, and hence possibly weakening the handlebar.
If you have purchased one of these models in this period, please DO NOT continue to ride and contact us immediately to organise a replacement handlebar.
If you know anyone who has bought a bike fitted with similar ZOOM handlebars, you should tell them to have them checked with their purchasing dealer.

Please contact us at info@cellbikes.com.au or call us at 02 9565 1899 and provide us with your serial number to arrange replacement handlebars.
If you are able to bring your bicycle to our retail shop for a changeover, we must arrange a scheduled time to do the replacement.
