Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Specialized is recalling about 63,000 Roubaix, Ruby, Diverge, and Sirrus model year 2017-2019 bicycles equipped with a Future Shock system. The bicycle's steerer tube collar can crack if it corrodes, leading to a sudden loss of steering control while riding. These bicycles were sold at authorized retailers nationwide from July 2016 through January 2019 for between $1,650 and $11,500. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bikes and contact an authorized retailer for a free repair.

Risk

The steerer tube collar can crack when exposed to corrosion, which may cause the rider to lose control of the steering suddenly. This defect has resulted in two reports of cracked collars, posing a significant risk of falls and injuries.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your bicycle's downtube for an 'S-Works' or 'Specialized' decal to confirm the brand.
  2. Identify if your bike is a Roubaix, Ruby, Diverge, or Sirrus model from the 2017 through 2019 model years equipped with a 'Future Shock' (the suspension system located above the head tube). Affected models include S-Works, Pro, Expert, Comp, Elite, E5 Comp, Sport, and Base.
  3. Immediately stop riding the bicycle if it matches the recalled models.
  4. Contact an authorized Specialized retailer to schedule a free repair of the steerer tube collar.
