Lezyne has issued a voluntary recall notice for its Pressure Over Drive and Digital Pressure Over Drive reservoir pumps.
The recall notice is for older-model pumps that were manufactured between February 2016 and December 2021, and which have a bleed port located on the front of the pump’s base.
Lezyne says the recall is the result of a single incident where the pump’s reservoir, when pumped up to pressure, ejected from the pump’s base. Lezyne says there’s a risk of serious injury from impact and has instructed owners to stop using the pump immediately.
What to do if you have an affected pump
Lezyne is asking owners to log a claim on its site and register for a free replacement (this link only worked for me on Chrome and not Firefox). If you can’t complete the online recall form, Lezyne says you should email recall@lezyne.com.
If you have an affected pump, Lezyne says that, as well as ceasing use, you should cut, drill or grind a hole in the (depressurised) reservoir and send it a photo of the disabled pump as proof that it cannot now be used. The photo also needs to show the Lezyne logo and the front bleed port.
If you don’t have the wherewithal to inactivate the pump, Lezyne suggests asking your local bike shop for assistance.
Once you’ve done that, Lezyne says you should dispose of the pump as mandated for steel and aluminium products. If you have a digital version, you’ll need to dispose of the coin cell battery separately, as per local hazardous waste/recycling regulations.
Lezyne says Pressure Over Drive and Digital Pressure Over Drive pumps made in 2022 or later are safe to continue using.
