What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where injury has been reported (seven injuries, including a torn bicep tendon), but no fatalities or serious injuries requiring hospitalization are explicitly stated, fitting the High severity criteria.

Plain-English summary

Specialized Bicycle Components Inc. is recalling approximately 36,000 Sirrus, Sirrus X, and Sirrus Sport bicycles in the United States and 3,200 in Canada. The recall involves 2019 and 2020 model year bicycles sold in 27 different colors between September 2018 and June 2020. The bicycles were sold at authorized Specialized retailers nationwide and online for between $850 and $1,700.

The recall is due to a hazard where the alloy crank arm can disengage, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle. This poses fall and injury hazards. The company has received 56 reports of the crank arm disengaging, including seven reports of injuries. One injury involved a torn bicep tendon, while the other six were minor injuries such as road rash.

Consumers should stop using the recalled bicycles immediately. To determine if a bicycle is affected, check if "Sirrus" or "Sirrus X" is written on the top tube and the model name (e.g., "3.0") is written on the seatstay. Affected models include the 2019-2020 Sirrus Sport (including EQ and Step-Through versions), Sirrus X Comp Carbon, Sirrus 3.0, Sirrus 4.0, Sirrus X 3.0, Sirrus X 4.0, and Sirrus X 5.0. Consumers should contact their nearest authorized Specialized retailer for a free repair.
