Plain-English summary
Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc. is recalling select Specialized Roubaix, Ruby, Diverge, and Sirrus bicycles equipped with a Future Shock from the 2017 through 2019 model years. The recall involves approximately 63,000 units sold nationwide at authorized Specialized Retailers between July 2016 and January 2019 for prices ranging from $1,650 to $11,500. The affected models include S-works, Pro, Expert, Comp, Elite, E5 Comp, Sport, and Base versions, identifiable by an S-works or Specialized decal on the downtube.
The recall is due to a hazard where the bicycle's steerer tube collar can crack if exposed to corrosion. This cracking can result in a sudden loss of steering control, posing fall and injury hazards to the rider. The company has received two reports of cracking in the steerer tube collar, but no injuries have been reported.
