Peloton Recalls 833,000 Bikes Over Safety Concerns
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of approximately 833,000 Peloton Bike+ machines due to reports that some seat posts broke during use. The affected bikes were sold between January 2020 and April 2025.
Safety Risks and Complaints
Peloton has received three complaints related to the seat post issue, with two incidents resulting in injuries. The CPSC has urged Peloton users to immediately stop using the recalled exercise bikes for their safety.
Peloton's Response
“The integrity of our products and our Members’ well-being are our top priorities,” said Márcio Oliveira, Peloton’s SVP of Global Hardware Operations and Product Safety. “We are taking this opportunity to make replacement seat posts available to all affected Bike+ users and we encourage them to contact us to receive the redesigned seat post as soon as possible.”
Previous Recalls and Company Challenges
This recall follows a prior one in 2023 when Peloton recalled about 2.2 million exercise bikes due to safety concerns after reports of customer injuries.
Peloton has faced recent difficulties, including a CEO replacement and large-scale layoffs last year. The company plans to release its latest earnings report on Thursday, aiming to recover after declining sales since the pandemic.
