Trek announces bike recall after hydraulic brake failure discovered

Trek bike

Trek has announced a recall on several bike models fitting with Promax hydraulic brakes after finding the hydraulic brake hoses may become detached from the brake levers. The issue relates to Trek bikes that have been fitted with Promax Solve DSK-925 and Promax F1 DSK-927 hydraulic disc brakes. The issue is said to be caused by a loose fit between the hydraulic brake hose itself and the barb that is inserted into the brake lever end of the hose. 

Trek says the fit can result in "improper clamping of the hose and ejecting or falling out of the brake lever". This could result in a sudden loss of braking ability and poses a crash risk.
