The Warehouse is recalling four models of Milazo bikes purchased or exchanged between March 1 and July 11 this year.

The bikes have also been voluntarily withdrawn from all stores.

While assembling this specific shipment of Milazo bikes, the Warehouse has discovered a potential fault with some of the calliper fixing bolts, prompting the recall decision.

All customers are advised to check the bolts on both the front and rear brake assembly of 24” and 26” Milazo bikes purchased from The Warehouse between these dates.

If the middle of the bolt is stamped with the letter ‘J' customers should stop using the bike immediately as a precaution.

Customers are asked to return the recalled Milazo bikes to any of The Warehouse's 89 stores where they will be checked and tested by an approved bike specialist to ensure they meet New Zealand's strict bike standards and avoid any accidents.

The Warehouse's merchandise general manager Nick Tuck says no risks are being taken.

'We take no chances when it comes to our customers' safety,” says Nick.

'We want to be certain that every bike we sell is 100 percent safe and to avoid any concerns, we ask customers to stop riding the recalled bikes and return them to The Warehouse for testing as soon as possible.

'We stress that this is a voluntary recall based on a possible fault we have discovered, and we reassure customers that all our bikes go through comprehensive safety checks.

'No other bikes are being recalled or withdrawn, and we are working closely with the supplier concerned to ensure all their bikes meet our safety standards.”
