Brand: [Not provided]
Shop: Unknown
Country of Origin: Taiwan
Risk Level: Medium: The manufacturer has reported that harsh frontal impacts, e.g., impacting a deep pothole with significant force, may put extraordinary stress on headset components and may initiate a crack in the fork’s steerer tube. A damaged fork may break if continued to be used, posing fall and injury hazards. This is because, unlike a metal component, once a carbon component is overloaded it will not bend, it will break completely.
Corrective Action: Specialized request that if you have an affected bike to please stop riding your bicycle and contact your Authorized Specialized Retailer to schedule an appointment to install the replacement parts at no cost to you. Specialized has developed a repair solution which will strengthen the overall system and make it more resistant against frontal impacts. Owners of these bicycles and framesets.
