  "account": "Decathlon America has issued a recall for approximately 1,150 Van Rysel GRVL AF bikes due to a potentially hazardous front wheel lock nut issue. No accidents or injuries have been reported thus far, but the problem could create a dangerous situation for riders, posing a crash hazard and risking serious injury or death. The affected models include brown CN FR (8911304), apex beige CN FR (8911305), sword pink CN FR (8911308), and GRVL AF GRX black (8929130). Sold between March 2025 and August 2025 at REI Co-op outlets in the United States, these bikes range in price from $1,400 to $2,300. To identify an affected bike, look for a Van Rysel Product ID beginning with the number 5 on the barcode sticker near the bottom bracket. Only specific Van Rysel models with these Product IDs are impacted. Decathlon is offering free fork assembly repairs at any REI Co-op outlet, or customers can contact Decathlon customer service for assistance.",
