Trek issues recall on Domane and Checkpoint e-bikes
Trek has issued a recall on certain 2026 Domane+ ALR and Checkpoint+ SL e-bikes after discovering some chainring bolts were not tightened to specification during assembly. The inadequate torque can allow the chainring to loosen and separate, resulting in a crash risk.
The affected models are the Domane+ ALR 5, Domane+ ALR 6 AXS, Checkpoint+ SL 6, and Checkpoint+ SL 7. Trek advises riders to stop using the bike immediately and have an authorised Trek retailer tighten each chainring bolt to 10 Nm at no charge.
Not all bikes within these models are affected, and Trek encourages people to check eligibility with their bike serial number (begins "WTU," on the bottom bracket) via Trek's recall look-up.
Trek also said that "as a thank-you for your cooperation", it will provide a US$20 in-store credit toward any Trek, Electra, or Bontrager merchandise when visiting a store for the repair. [Trek recall page]
