Peloton and CPSC Announce Voluntary Recall of the Peloton original Bike in the US Due to Risk of Injury and Offers Free Seat Post Remedy for Self Installation

In cooperation with the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), today Peloton announced a voluntary recall of the Peloton original Bike sold from January 2018 to May 2023 in the US and is offering Members a replacement of their Bike’s seat post as the approved remedy.  The seat post can break unexpectedly during use, creating a potential fall and injury risk. We have identified 35 reports of seat posts breaking out of 2,160,000 units sold in the US. 

Peloton is offering a free, updated seat post to all US Peloton original Bike owners, which can be installed at home, without the need for a service call. One seat post replacement will be offered per Bike. 

There is no impact to Peloton Bike+ Members nor Peloton original Bike owners in the UK, Germany, and Australia.

The Peloton original Bike model can be identified by its PL-01 model number on the label located on the inside front fork (near the flywheel), the red “P” logo followed by the white-colored "Peloton" brand name on the Bike's frame, and by its non-swivel display.

Our commitment to Member safety is unwavering. For Peloton, it was important to proactively engage the CPSC to address this issue. We worked cooperatively with them to identify today’s approved remedy.

While this is a US Peloton original Bike issue, we are always focused on our global Member community and the need to ensure they are informed. We are proactively communicating with all Members who own a Peloton Bike – either the original Bike or Bike+. We believe Members should be aware of the US issue, understand if they are affected (or not) by the voluntary recall, and guide them on what steps they should take, if any. For US Members, please find more guidance on seat post replacement here.
