Specialized recalls aerobars from 2012-2015 models due to risk of falling from bike due to loose bolt. Stop using and get replacement hardware.
The bolt used to affix the aerobars to the bicycle can loosen, posing a fall hazard to the rider.
Specialized is recalling aerobars made between 2012 and 2015 that could loosen and cause riders to fall. This is serious because falling from a bike can lead to injuries.
The bolt holding the aerobars to the bike can loosen over time, causing the handlebars to detach and leading to a fall. This fall could result in serious injuries like fractures or head trauma.
Bicycle riders who own aerobars from 2012-2015 models, especially those using Specialized Shiv or Transition Apex bikes. Riders with carbon or alloy aerobars are most at risk.
Look for carbon aerobars with a black color and white Specialized logo on top. Alloy models are black with no markings. Check if your aerobars were sold with Specialized Shiv (2012-2015) or Transition Apex (2013) bicycles.
Immediately stop using the recalled aerobars to prevent falls and injuries.
Reach out to Specialized Bicycle Components for replacement extension mounting hardware.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled aerobars and contact Specialized Bicycle Components to receive replacement extension mounting hardware.
