More than 96,000 hydraulic brakes used on Trek bikes have been recalled, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
The brake hose on the recalled Promax hydraulic disc brakes can come off from the brake lever. That can pose a crash hazard.
There have been 195 reports of the brake hose detaching but no one has been hurt.
Revision 1 of the Promax Solve DSK-925 and Promax F1 DSK-927 brakes are part of the recall, according to the CPSC. They were installed when the bikes were manufactured.
