Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling approximately 5,550 model year 2018 Specialized Allez, Allez Sport, and Allez Elite road racing bicycles in the United States. The fork on these bicycles can break during use, which can cause the rider to lose control and crash. One report of a cracked fork has been received, though no injuries have been reported to date. These bicycles were sold at authorized retailers nationwide from July 2017 through December 2017 for between $750 and $1,200. Specialized is offering a free replacement fork and installation for all affected owners.
The composite fork on the front of the bicycle can crack or break completely while riding. If the fork fails, the rider will likely lose steering control and the front wheel may detach or collapse, leading to a serious fall or crash.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an Authorized Specialized Retailer for instructions on how to receive a free installation of a new fork.
