Component maker SRAM working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has issued a voluntary recall of the PowerLock connection for 10 speed chain due to “a potential for the PowerLock connector link outer plate to fail.”

This recall does not effect chains nor connectors on 8 or 9 speed chains. Only PowerLock connectors at issue are with “date codes M and N (on PowerLock ONLY).  Date code letter is stamped onto end of each PowerLock connector link outer plate.” Consumers with affected PowerLocks are asked to return the connector to their SRAM dealer for a free replacement.
