Recall and service checks
CPSC Vvolt/Centauri title checks and bounded maker/support searches found no matching notice for this exact configuration on October 20, 2026. Vvolt has separate legacy bulletins: battery handling for pre-August-2023 MPF mid-drives, and belt-spider installation for affected 2021–2022 Sirius/Proxima bikes. These do not establish applicability to the reviewed Alpha 2.1 configuration or clear any individual bike.
