Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling about 32,400 Vado and Como IGH e-bikes because the bike's protective chain or belt guard does not fully cover the belt drive. Loose clothing can get caught in the moving drive system while the bike is in motion, which poses a fall hazard to the rider. These e-bikes were sold nationwide and online from March 2021 through November 2024. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled e-bikes and contact an authorized Specialized retailer for a free installation of a new, updated protective guard.
The belt drive on these bicycles is not adequately covered by the protective guard. If loose clothing becomes entangled in the moving belt, it can jam the drivetrain, causing the rider to lose control or fall. No injuries or incidents have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the Specialized Vado and Como IGH e-bikes and contact their nearest authorized Specialized retailer for a free installation of an updated protective chain/belt guard. Specialized Bicycle is contacting all known purchasers directly.
Model numbers are located on the underside of the bicycle's top tube.
