the Wisconsin company Trek had the bikes made in Taiwan and China from Sept 1999 to 2015, at prices between $480 to $1,650.
The recall covers 900,000 Trek bikes in the United States and 98,000 in Canada. Trek said it is aware of three incidents where the problem caused riders to be injured, including one that resulted in quadriplegia.
Bikes with front disc brakes and a black or silver quick-release lever on the front wheel hub that opens far enough to contact the disc brake, according to the recall alert. Bikes with front quick-release levers that do not open a full 180 degrees from the closed position are not included in the recall.
