Peloton Yanks 833,000 Bike+ Units over Snapping Seat Posts — Free Fix Offered

With input from CNBC, the Verge, Axios, and CBS News.

Peloton is recalling every Original Series Bike+ it ever sold — about 833,000 bikes — after reports that the seat post can crack and pop loose mid-ride.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission says two riders were hurt after falls and is urging owners to stop using the bikes immediately.

This recall covers the Bike+ model PL02, manufactured in 2019–2022 and sold from January 2020 through April 2025 through Peloton, Amazon, Dick’s, eBay, and showrooms. If your serial number starts with “T,” you’re in the group. Peloton’s remedy is a redesigned seat post shipped free that you can install at home; there’s no refund component.

It’s déjà vu for the fitness brand. In May 2023 Peloton recalled 2.2 million base-model Bikes (PL01) for a similar seat-post failure that led to 13 injuries, including a fractured wrist. The new action expands that saga to Bike+, which uses a different post design but has shown the same failure mode in a much smaller number of incidents.

Peloton says product integrity and member safety are the priority and is pushing owners to request the replacement part “as soon as possible.” If you’re unsure whether your bike is affected, check the model tag for “PL02” and confirm the serial begins with “T.” Until the fix is in, park the Bike+.
