Summary

3T Design has recalled about 623 Cervélo P-Series bicycles because the Aura Pro handlebar clamps can detach while riding. This recall affects 2013 P3 and P5 models sold between September 2012 and January 2013. One minor injury has already been reported due to this defect. Consumers are being offered a free repair kit or professional repair at an authorized dealer.

  2. Inspect the handlebars for a gloss black finish with the labels '3T', 'AURA-PRO', and 'ULTIMATE-PERFORMANCE' printed in white on the top surface.
  3. Stop using the recalled bicycle immediately until it has been repaired.
  4. Contact 3T Design at (800) 223-3207 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, or visit www.3tcycling.com and click on the 'Recall' link to request a free repair kit that includes four replacement bolts and installation instructions.
