Bolts like the one on the right can break.

Trek is recalling approximately 27,000 bicycles because of faulty seat clamp bolts on affected seat posts. The bolt can break, which poses an obvious potential for harm. Four injuries have been reported due to the issue.

The bikes affected are 2012 model year.

Models include:
Trek 7.2 FX, 7.3 FX, 7.4 FX, and 7.5 FX, as well as District and 9th District WSD, Livestrong and Disc models.

Consumers should check the SKU number stamped on the bottom bracket. If the last two numbers are “12” you may have an affected bike and should contact a local Trek dealer immediately.
