The Tampa, Fla.-based company says the hubs in the bike's rear wheel can fail to properly engage, causing no resistance when pedaling.
The recall includes all American Classic aftermarket rear wheels and hubs, as well as the following 2005 bike models which use American Classic rear wheels or hubs: Fuji Team Super Lite (Team SL); Orbea Aletta, Onix, Lobular 50, Dama Race, Mitis and Mitis Dama models; Felt F55 and F2C; Fetish Cycles Road and Mountain Bikes; Argon 18; and Motobecane LeChampion SL.
The recalled bikes were sold at bicycle specialty stores nationwide from January through June for about $240 (per rear hub).
Consumers should stop using the bike wheels with the recalled hubs and contact your local bicycle retailer to receive a free inspection.
If you have a recalled wheel, the dealer will provide a free repair.
Consumers can call American Classic at (800) 345-8356 or visit the company's Web site for more recall information.
