Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Profile Design has recalled about 260 Aeria Ultimate carbon aerobars because they can crack or break during use. This defect causes the rider to lose control and crash, and there have been two reports of these bars cracking or breaking so far. The recalled aerobars were sold individually for about $1,300 and also as original equipment on Dimond Brand Bikes and Quintana Roo model bicycles. Consumers should stop using these bicycles immediately and contact Profile Design for a free replacement through their local retailer.

Risk

The carbon-fiber aerobars can fail structurally, leading to a sudden break while riding that can cause the cyclist to lose steering control and crash. Two incidents of the bars cracking or breaking have been reported.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using any bicycle equipped with the Profile Design Aeria Ultimate carbon aerobars.
  2. Identify the aerobars by checking the rear edge for the words "Profile Design" and "Ultimate" embossed in gloss black on the matte black surface.
  3. Verify the recall by measuring the uncut hand extensions (the bars where the brake levers are attached). On recalled units, the measurement from the leading edge of the wing to the tip of the hand extension is 13.6 cm (5.3 inches).
  4. Contact Profile Design toll-free at 888-800-5999 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or email AeriaUltimateRecall@profile-design.com, to receive instructions for a free replacement aerobar via your local retailer.
