What was recalled
This recall involves the PNW Components Loam Pedal Gen 2 aluminum alloy mountain bike pedal. These pedals were sold after market through online retailers and bicycle shops. The pedal is a platform style (non-clip) pedal and can be identified by a "Tectonic" logo laser etched onto the pedal body on the left corner, on the same side as the threaded axle. The pedals are available in black, silver, green, orange and purple.
The hazard
The pedal axle can crack, causing the pedal to detach from the crank, posing a fall hazard to the rider.
Injuries
The firm has received four reports of the pedal axle cracking and detaching from the crank. No injuries have been reported.
The remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the Loam Pedal Gen 2 and contact PNW Components to receive free replacement axles once they become available. In the interim PNW Components is providing consumers with the Range Pedal, free of charge. PNW Components will follow up with consumers regarding the replacement axle system, estimated to begin shipping out to customers on January 5, 2026.
