Peloton recalls 833,000 more bikes over seat post issue, two injuries reported
Peloton recalls 833,000 original Bike+ units due to seat post failures causing 13 injuries; free repairs are recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission.
- Today, Peloton recalled 833,000 original Bike+ units manufactured from 2019 to 2022 after seat post failures caused detachment and two reported injuries; this marks the company’s fifth recall, CEO Peter Stern said.
- Historically, seat post failures prompted a May 2023 recall of 2.2 million base Bike units after 35 reports and injury reports including a fractured wrist.
- Peloton is offering a free replacement seat post that users can install at home, and the Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends stopping use immediately and contacting Peloton for repair.
- Financially, replacing recalled parts cost at least $40 million during Peloton's fiscal 2023 fourth quarter, while membership churn increased as 15,000–20,000 Peloton members paused subscriptions.
- Just over a month after the product relaunch, Peloton prepares to report first quarter fiscal 2026 earnings after the bell on Thursday, with the current quarter biggest for hardware sales ahead of the holiday shopping season.
