The London-based company said 144,000 bikes made between April 2014 and May 2017 were affected by the voluntary recall. The company said the German part had failed on one in 5,000 bikes, which would leave the rider unable to pedal, and that in one case a cyclist had been hurt.
The company is asking owners to take their bikes to a certified Brompton dealer where the bracket will be replaced free of charge.
