Fox X2 Recall
Fox has announced a voluntary recall for some of their Float X2 rear shocks.
Apparently the air sleeve can rupture in certain conditions, due to the internal pressure build up that occurs under shock compression. As a result, Fox has advised that, “Consumers should immediately stop using this product unless otherwise instructed. Retailers, distributors, and OEM customers should hold this product and stop sales and distribution until further instructed.”
The voluntary recall applies to all 2016 model year Float X2 rear shocks and certain 2017 Float X2 rear shocks. The shock absorbers subject to this voluntary filing were shipped on or before September 9, 2016 and DO NOT have a ‘250 psi max’ label directly under the air fill boss on the outer sleeve.
More details here and Australian Float X2 owners should contact the retailer where the rear shock (or bike) was purchased.
