Check the serial number on the steerer tube of your Enve carbon road disc fork. If it matches the numbers listed, it’s part of a recall Enve has launched for close to 600 carbon fiber, road disc forks, which were manufactured in Vietnam and sold at dealers for about $540 each from June 2014 through December 2015.

The affected forks are Enve’s Carbon Fiber Road Fork 2.0 Disc, 1.25-inch taper models. Serial numbers begin with:

VCT1406
VCT1410
VCT1411
VCT1501
VCT1502
VCT1503
VCT1505
VCT1506
VCT1507
VCT1508
VCT1509
VCT1510

The left fork leg can crack above the disc brake mount. While it appears no one has been injured due to the failure, Enve has received reports of several failures, prompting a recall. Fork owners can contact Enve to receive a full refund or replacement of the fork and headset.
