New Jersey Update: Peloton Recalls Over 800,000 Bikes

If you’re one of the thousands of Peloton riders in New Jersey, take note.

Peloton has issued a major recall of its Original Series Bike+ model (Model PL02) after reports of seat post failures that could lead to falls and injuries.

The Recall Details

Announced on November 6, 2025, the recall affects approximately 833,000 units of the Peloton Bike+ sold nationwide. The issue? The seat post assembly can break during use, posing a risk of the rider losing balance and getting hurt.

So far, Peloton has confirmed three incidents in which the seat post broke and detached from the bike mid-ride, two of those resulting in injuries.

• Behind the flywheel on the bike’s frame.

Peloton has also provided a guide online showing exactly where to find your serial number if you need help.
