Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling approximately 8,300 Aerobars sold individually and as original equipment on specific Specialized Shiv and Transition Apex bicycles. The bolt used to secure these aerobars to the bike can loosen unexpectedly, potentially causing the bars to move or detach during use. There have been four reports of these bolts loosening, though no injuries have been reported to date. These handlebars were sold at authorized dealers and online from November 2011 to February 2015, and Specialized will provide replacement mounting hardware to fix the issue.
If the mounting bolt loosens while the bicycle is in motion, the rider may lose control of the steering or the aerobars may shift suddenly, leading to a fall and serious physical injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled aerobars and contact Specialized Bicycle Components to receive replacement extension mounting hardware.
