Devinci is issuing a voluntary recall of some Chainsaw and Chainsaw DH frames, due to concerns that the front triangle could crack and, in extreme instances, the headtube could break off.
The potentially affected bikes have serial numbers starting with 045 (numbers between 04520001 and 04550118) or 101 (10120002 to 10150032). All frame sizes are included. Out of 898 potentially affected frames, only three have been known to fail and no injuries have reported, but Devinci will replace the impacted front triangles free of charge.
If you own one of the impacted frames, you should stop riding it immediately and contact a Devinci dealer to coordinate a replacement. Devinci’s full statement is below.

Cycles Devinci announces a voluntary safety recall on alloy 2023, 2024 Chainsaw and Chainsaw DH models.
Saguenay, QC, August 22ND , 2024 – In our ongoing commitment to rider safety, we are initiating a voluntary safety recall for certain 2023 and 2024 models of the alloy Chainsaw & Chainsaw DH bikes.
A few recent field incidents, combined with additional testing, have identified a potential issue with the front triangles of these bikes. In rare cases, affected frames may crack, which could lead to the head tube separating from the top tube. From the 2023 and 2024 Chainsaw production, only three (3) incidents have been reported, and fortunately, no known injuries have occurred thus far, however we have made the decision to mitigate all possible risk from future issues.
As passionate riders ourselves, safety is one of our top priorities. If you own one of the potentially affected bikes, please stop using it immediately and contact a Devinci authorized dealer for further instructions. Detailed information on the replacement plan is available on our website at www.devinci.com/en/recall, or you can reach us directly at +1 888-338-4624, www.devinci.com/en/contact-us/ or via email at recall@devinci.com.
