Canyon Emtb Battery Safety Notice

[Dcl74]

Hi all,

Newbie here!

Yesterday I received an email from Canyon advising the battery in my Canyon ONCF 9 has a potential safety problem and a stop ride notice issued. I spoke with Canyon UK service centre on the website Chat today and they could not advise when this will be resolved and merely stated a further email would be sent within the coming 4 weeks, which is completely unacceptable!

I've done a thorough inspection of the battery casing as per their guidelines and my casing is in perfect condition. So am tempted t
to still ride it.

But wondered. Has any other Canyon owners received the email and is their battery casing damaged/cracked at all?

I am having my third battery delivered tomorrow. My first battery was a 720w and suffered cracks at the mounting bosses and every screw placement on the casing. My latest battery is less than a year old and is a 900wh version as I paid to upgrade when they replaced the totally knackered 720wh . I checked the 900wh about 2 weeks ago and it has started to crack around the mounting bosses again, although the rest of the case is OK. I informed Canyon and sent photos..they got back to me within 10 minutes offering a replacement which arrives tomorrow. I got the dreaded email yesterday about not using the bike...madness...I can't see how they can resolve this without a total re engineered battery or a buy back scheme...it's gonna cost mega bucks .
