    Trek has issued a recall of around 700 of its road and gravel e-bikes
    following reports of chainrings loosening during rides, the brandrCOs second major recall in the US in the space of a month.

    On Thursday, the American company announced that it was recalling certain
    2026 Domane+ ALR and Checkpoint+ SL e-bikes, after some of the modelsrCO chainring bolts were rCLnot tightened to specification during assemblyrCY.

    That lack of torque was allowing the chainring to loosen and separate when ridden, resulting in a potential crash risk. The models in question are the brandrCOs Domane+ ALR 5 and Domane+ ALR 6 AXS road bikes, and the Checkpoint+ SL 6 and Checkpoint+ SL 7 gravel bikes.
