Marzocchi has issued a recall for 2008 Marzocchi 888RC3 and RC3WC (both medium and hard spring) forks with the product codes 9082001S, 9081901S and 9081902S.

This affects 70 forks worldwide and has been traced to a batch manufactured in July, August and September of 2007.

“Marzocchi has learned that after a forceful landing, the suspension system can become completely compressed and bottom out. The piston rod may collapse under the load of the landing. The collapsed piston rod prevents the suspension system from extending and returning to its original configuration. The fork spring will remain compressed inside the fork leg.”

If you have an affected fork contact UK Marzocchi distributors www.windwave.co.uk immediately.
