According to Trek, if the quick release lever is not properly closed, it can rotate past 180 degrees into the disc brake and cause the wheel to suddenly stop dead or fall off the bike.
Not all bikes covered by the recall will actually have the affected part. Owners of any Trek bikes can take then to any Trek retailer for an assessment and free lever replacement if necessary.
One of those dealers in Vancouver is West Point Cycles, which has invited people with Trek bicycles to have them checked for the defect.
"We're requesting people with Trek bicycles that have front disc brakes to bring them into the store so we can make sure that they don't have this problem and then if they do we will install a new free lever," said manager Tim Woodburn.
