Formula recalls Oro brakes
Formula has issued a voluntary recall
Italian disc brake manufacturer Formula has issued a voluntary recall on certain members of its Oro brake family. All Oro brakes manufactured before July 2007 with master cylinder serial numbers 295237 and lower are affected; some 2005-2006 Oro Puro models, however, may not be affected as they use a different design.
According to Formula, the recalled brakesets utilize a set screw to secure the pin that affixes the brake lever. If the screws are not properly torqued, the pin can fall out and the brake lever will become inoperable.
Affected owners are asked to immediately bring the affected brakes to a Formula dealer for inspection and/or repair. Alternatively, users may also follow the repair instructions posted on Formula’s web site. Additional information can be found at www.formulabrakeusa.com.
