Plain-English summary

Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling approximately 19,000 Sirrus, Sirrus X, and Sirrus Sport bicycles with alloy cranks. The defect involves the crank arm, which can disengage during use, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle.

This expanded recall covers model years 2021 and 2022 Sirrus X 3.0 and 4.0 bicycles. The manufacturer has received 30 reports of crank arm disengagement on these models. No injuries have been reported. A prior recall in September 2020 addressed 36,000 bicycles from model years 2019 and 2020.

The affected bicycles were sold at authorized Specialized retailers nationwide and online between July 2020 and March 2022, priced between $850 and $1,700. Consumers can identify affected models by the "Sirrus" or "Sirrus X" text printed on the top tube and the model name (e.g., "3.0") written on the seatstay.
