About 63,000 bicycles with steerer tube collars from Specialized Bicycle Components are being recalled. The bicycle’s steerer tube collar can crack if exposed to corrosion resulting in sudden loss of steering control, posing fall and injury hazards to the rider.
The firm received two reports involving cracking in the steerer tube collar. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves select Specialized Roubaix, Ruby, Diverge and Sirrus bicycles equipped with a Future Shock from the 2017 through 2019 model years. The bikes come in a variety of colors and include S-works, Pro, Expert, Comp, Elite, E5 Comp, Sport and Base models. An S-works or Specialized decal can be found on the downtube.
The items were sold at authorized Specialized retailers nationwide from July 2016 through January 2019 for between $1,650 and $11,500.
