Why it was recalled
Stamina modified the warning/assembly instructions in the owner's manuals to emphasize that the elliptical pedal shafts must be securely tightened to the cranks. If not securely tightened, the pedal shafts could become loose from the cranks, which could result in serious injury to the user and/or damage to the product.
Incidents and injuries
None reported
Official remedy
