3T Design is recalling Cervélo P5 bicycles from 2012 and 2013 that have Aduro aero handlebars. The handlebars' forward extension mounts can detach while riding, causing loss of control and potential injury.

The forward extension mounts on the handlebars can detach while riding. This detachment causes the rider to lose control of the bicycle, which can lead to injury.
Owners of 2012 and 2013 Cervélo P5 bicycles with 3T Aduro aero handlebars are affected. Riders who use these handlebars while cycling are at risk of losing control and injury.
Look for bicycles with black handlebars featuring red and white stripes. The handlebars have a base bar with "3T" on the top and rear. Check for a green sticker with an "é" on the underside of the Aduro base bar if the bicycle has already been inspected.
Immediately stop using the recalled bicycles with Aduro aero handlebars to prevent loss of control and injury.
Reach out to 3T Design to have the handlebars replaced free of charge with a modified set of Aduro aero handlebars.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact 3T Design to have the recalled handlebars replaced free of charge with a modified set of Aduro aero handlebars installed with the high or low mount. Consumers who also purchased the ultra-low mount can receive: a full refund for the ultra-low mount and a free modified Aduro aero base bar for use with the originally purchased low mount or replacement of the Aduro aero handlebars with 3T Mistral aero handlebars with a low-position mount, which places a rider in a position similar to the Aduro ultra-low position mount.
