Consumers can contact Jetson Electric Bikes for free repair kit, scooter recall states

Consumers should immediately stop using the Nova and Star 3-Wheel Kick Scooters and contact Jetson Electric Bikes for a free repair kit, the recall notice says. 

The kit includes two screws, two bolts and an Allen key, along with repair instructions and a QR code link to an installation video. Consumers will not need additional tools to install the repair kit, the company says.

Jetson sold the scooters in five colors, including green, teal, blue, purple and red. Only scooters with the model and serial numbers listed here are included in the recall.

The recalled products were sold at Target stores nationwide and online at target.com and www.ridejetson.com from Sept. 2022 through Feb. 2023 for about $40.
