Have any Onewheel models been the subject of a safety recall?

An earlier recall on August 11, 2022 covered about 20,500 Onewheel GT front footpads that could fail to disengage after a rider dismounted, letting the board keep operating and putting bystanders at risk. The 2023 recall applied to six models sold between January 2014 and September 2023, and the remedy differed depending on which one you own.

• Onewheel GT, Pint X, Pint, and Onewheel+ XR: eligible for a firmware update adding Haptic Buzz, an audible and tactile warning system
• Onewheel Original and Onewheel+: not eligible for that update, subject instead to a prorated credit remedy

Future Motion's current lineup includes newer models like the Rally XL, GT S-Series, and XR Classic, so the 2023 recall should not be assumed to cover every board the company currently sells.

You can check your own board using its model name, printed on the side, and its serial number, located on the underside of the bottom rail. Future Motion's recall page still runs an active serial number eligibility check for both recalls.

That check confirms CPSC and Future Motion identified a real hazard, but it does not by itself prove the recalled condition caused your injury. Your claim would still need evidence about your accident, the condition of your board, and your medical treatment afterward.
