Peloton has issued a recall affecting certain Original Series Bike+ units. Here’s how to determine if yours is affected and what to do next. Direct steps to check
- Identify the model and serial number:
- Look for the model number PL02 on the bike. If your bike is an Original Series Bike+ with PL02, proceed to check the serial.
- Serial numbers beginning with the letter “T” indicate potential recall eligibility. The serial number is typically located inside the front fork, behind the front fork, or behind the flywheel.
- If your bike matches PL02 and the serial starts with T, it is part of the recall population.
What to do if your bike is recalled
- Do not continue using the bike until you have replaced the seat post. Peloton is offering a free, self-installed replacement seat post and repair kit.
- Contact Peloton for recall assistance:
- Call Peloton’s recall line or use the official recall page on Peloton’s support site to request the free seat post.
- You may also be able to initiate the replacement via the “Product Recalls” link on Peloton’s website or the recall section of the support portal.
Additional context
- The recall involves a safety risk from seat post failure which could lead to falls and injuries. Peloton and safety authorities recommend stopping use immediately if you suspect your unit is affected, and proceeding with the free replacement seat post.
- If your bike is not PL02 or its serial does not start with T, your unit is not listed in this recall. It’s still wise to monitor Peloton’s official notices for any future safety advisories.
