Peloton, one of the nation’s most well-known stationary bike manufacturers, is recalling over 800,000 of its Peloton Original Series Bike+ Model PL02 due to concerns about the bike’s seat post assembly.

The bike serial numbers begin with the letter “T” located inside or behind the front fork, or behind the flywheel. The bike measures 4 feet long by 2 feet wide and has an adjustable seat and handlebar.
