Cannondale recalls 2008 Scalpels

Cannondale has issued a voluntary recall on the 2008 Scalpel frame, due to the chance that the chainstays may not be properly bonded. According to Cannondale, there is a risk that the chainstays could separate from the dropouts, and that’s probably the last thing you want to happen when bombing some singletrack.

The good news is that only limited serial numbers are affected by the recall, and according to the CPSC there have only been six reports of broken frames so far. Still, if you’ve picked up one of these bikes, call Cannondale with your serial number to find out whether your frame is impacted by the recall.
