Trek Recalls About 68,000 Bicycles and Replacement Wheels With Coaster Brakes, Precaliber Children's Bikes Included, No Incidents Reported
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced on November 13, 2025 that Trek Bicycle Corporation is recalling about 68,000 Trek and Electra-branded bicycles and replacement rear wheels with coaster brakes, plus about 6,820 sold in Canada, under recall number 26-088.
Affected models include the Trek Precaliber 12, Precaliber 16 and Precaliber 20 children's bicycles (2024 and 2026), the Electra Sprocket 1 16 and Electra Townie Rental 1 Step Thru, and matching replacement wheels. CPSC said the coaster brakes can fail to engage, resulting in the rider losing control and posing a crash hazard, because the grease inside the hub does not adequately lubricate its internal sliding surfaces. No incidents or injuries were reported.
The bikes were sold at Trek and Electra authorized retailers nationwide and at Trek.com from August 2023 to September 2025 for between $300 and $660, and the replacement wheels for between $66 and $77. Consumers should stop using the recalled products and contact an authorized dealer for a free repair; the serial number, printed under the bottom bracket and starting with 'WTU,' can be checked in Trek's online lookup tool, or consumers can call 800-373-4594.
