Specialized has recalled about 1,000 S-Works Venge Vias and Venge Pro Vias road bicycles from the 2016 model year. The recall was initiated because the rear wheel can come out of the frame's dropout, which can cause the rear triangle of the frame to fracture. There have been seven reports of these fractures, including one report of a rider suffering a minor injury. These high-performance bicycles were sold at authorized retailers nationwide between July 2015 and September 2016 for prices ranging from $6,200 to $12,900.
The rear wheel can detach from the frame while riding, causing the frame's rear triangle to break and posing a crash and injury hazard to the rider.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled bicycles and contact an Authorized Specialized retailer for free installation of a new rear derailleur hanger and a safety inspection.
