Santa Cruz issued a voluntary recall on May 1 for its Heckler 9 electric mountain bike (eMTB) due to fire hazards posed by the bikeâs lithium-ion battery. Although no injuries have occurred, there have been reports of three fires related to defective batteries. The recall affects batteries sold with Heckler 9 eMTBs manufactured before February 2023, and owners are urged to stop using their bikes immediately. Santa Cruz provides options for battery checking and removal through their support channels and listed dealers.
