Recalled Hubs
Additionally, SRAM has issued a recall for the wheels featuring the Zipp 88v6, 88v7 or 88v8 aluminum front hub. The flange issue, originally thought only to affect the original Zipp 88 front hubs, has been determined to exist in later versions. As with the Zipp 88 hub, the aluminum front hub flanges on the Zipp 88v6, 88v7 or 88v8 could fail and could cause a crash.
The photos below are the affected hubs.
The official recall notice is posted here.
