Norco Performance Bikes, in cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), is voluntarily recalling Norco Bicycle Frames because they can crack and separate, causing a fall hazard to riders.

To date, the company has received one report of a rider falling from the bicycle and fracturing their collar bone.

The recall, which involves 3,600 bicycle frames, includes the following model year and names: 2007 Team DH, 2008 Team DH, Aline Park, Aline, Atomik, Shore 1,2,3, 2009 Atomik (without gussets). All colors are included in the recall and the model name is printed on a decal on the top tube of each frame/bike.

The agency warns consumers to stop using the recalled bicycle frame immediately and to contact a local Norco dealer for information about a replacement frame.
