Fanatec addresses Podium Pedals Formula screw defects with replacements

Fanatec has confirmed a manufacturing defect affecting some units of its Podium Pedals Formula and has announced a support programme to address the issue. The problem involves stripped screws on affected pedal sets, which can compromise assembly and durability.

Customers experiencing the fault are eligible for one of three remedies: a full refund, a replacement pair of Podium Pedals Sport, or a replacement set of revised Podium Pedals Formula units. The company has not specified a deadline for claims or the scope of affected serial numbers, though owners reporting the issue are advised to contact Fanatec support directly with proof of purchase and photographic evidence of the defect.
