Bergamont Fender Recall: Match the Model Code Before Riding
The Bergamont fender recall dated 24 April 2023 covers specified bicycles and fender sets from model years 2020–2022. The manufacturer warns that the bracket connecting the front fender to the fork crown can break. If your product matches the notice, stop using the bicycle or fender set immediately and take it to an authorised Bergamont dealer for free bracket replacement.
Bergamont fender recall: use the exact reference
Names such as Grandurance RD 7 and Sweep 4 EQ occur across different products. Record the model reference and the bicycle’s identification before deciding whether the notice applies. The manufacturer expressly limits this recall to its listed items; a familiar family name or similar paintwork is insufficient.
| Listed bicycle | References in the notice |
|---|---|
| Grandurance RD 7 | 275545, 281075, 286811 |
| Grandurance RD 5 | 275546, 281076, 286812 |
| Grandurance RD Elite | 286810 |
| Grandurance RD 5 FMN | 286813 |
| Grandurance RD 3 petrol / silver | 281077 / 281078 |
| Grandurance RD 3 black / silver | 286814 / 286815 |
| Sweep 6 EQ | 275549, 281037 |
| Sweep 5 EQ / Sweep 4 EQ | 275550 / 281038 |
Check separately fitted fenders as well
The notice also lists fender-set references 277445, BGM Fenderset Allroad 20; 291700, Grandurance Alloy W50 22; and 291699, Grandurance Carbon W50 22. An accessory may have a history separate from the bicycle, so include known replacement or added fenders in the enquiry.
The historical Prime Team Carbon photo above is a brand-context image. It is not a picture of a recalled bracket and cannot confirm the identity or repair status of your bicycle. Compare real identification records with the manufacturer’s notice and let the dealer resolve uncertainty.
Obtain the specified repair confirmation
Ask the authorised dealer to check applicability and document any required bracket replacement. A previous owner’s statement that the bicycle “was checked” is less useful than a record identifying the product and completed repair. Preserve that record with the ownership documents.
The notice’s instruction is to stop using a matched product until the specified replacement. A bracket that looks intact or has not yet caused trouble does not establish that the recall has been completed. Do not substitute an improvised fastening or a visual check for the manufacturer’s remedy.
This guide reports one dated recall. It is not a declaration that an unlisted bicycle has passed every other safety or condition check. If identifying information is missing, obtain help from Bergamont or its authorised dealer before relying on a guessed match.
FAQ
Does every Grandurance or Sweep match this notice?
No. The manufacturer names particular references and model years.
Does the notice include separately sold fenders?
Yes. It lists the three fender-set references above.
What action does it require for a matched product?
Stop use and obtain the free authorised-dealer bracket replacement.
Keep the Bergamont fender recall identification and repair record together. The Bergamont topic connects other ownership references; the brand introduction supplies broader context.
