I saw this on the road thread, figured it might be good to see here too because it affects their cyclocross-specific cranks.
"Ritchey Design has identified a potential safety issue concerning WCS and PRO Level Non-Drive Side Crank Arms (LEFT ARM ONLY). In certain cases, it is possible that the non-drive crank arm could fail or break unexpectedly. If this happens during cycling, the cyclist may lose control of the bicycle, which could lead to serious injury. Because Ritchey Design products are designed meet the highest industry standards, as a preventive action, and in the interests of putting the safety of its consumers first, Ritchey Design has decided to undertake a voluntary recall of all affected Non-drive Crank arms."
WCS Cross 130 bcd in black only (38/48 chainring combination)
Pro Cross 130 bcd in black only (38/48 chainring combination)
WCS and PRO crank recall (http://www.ritcheylogic.com/web/Ritchey~Logic/Ritchey~Site/web/EN/main/LatestNews/all_news/21676/29964/29965.html)
I'm affected, and I'll be getting a replacement crank arm soon. Hope this helps!
