Here's my story. I had a deal going to purchase a Dahon Curve off of a respected member of Bike Forums awhile back. Upon inspection of the bike, before the deal went through, the seller spotted the damaged stem. We found out it was under recall, but would have to be purchased from ThorUSA. We agreed to still do the transaction, but minus (if I remember correctly) $90,...the cost of the new stem. I have the Dahon Curve still, with a new stem, and I even swapped colors (black!). Below are pictures of the defective stem from MY BIKE. Even if the stem wasn't broken I wouldn't have offered it for sale OR to be used in any other manner as I know it's under recall for a defect. I only still have it because I haven't discarded it.





And here's the bike with the replacement stem:
