3T Design is recalling approximately 1,300 Cervélo P5 bicycles equipped with 3T Aduro aero handlebars because the forward extension mounts can detach from the base bar while riding. This defect can cause the rider to lose control, and the company has received 28 reports of incidents, including one broken collarbone and four reports of abrasions. The affected bicycles are black with red and white stripes and were sold at Cervélo retailers nationwide between May 2012 and August 2013. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact 3T Design for a free replacement of the handlebars or a refund for optional ultra-low mounts.
The mounts that hold the forward handle extensions can break away from the main handlebar base. If this happens while a cyclist is riding, they can suddenly lose control and crash, leading to serious injuries like broken bones and severe abrasions.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact 3T Design to have the recalled handlebars replaced free of charge with a modified set of Aduro aero handlebars installed with the high or low mount. Consumers who also purchased the ultra-low mount can receive: a full refund for the ultra-low mount and a free modified Aduro aero base bar for use with the originally purchased low mount or replacement of the Aduro aero handlebars with 3T Mistral aero handlebars with a low-position mount, which places a rider in a position similar to the Aduro ultra-low position mount.
