The following notice has been issued by the manufacturer:
Rider safety is our top priority at Specialized. We’d like to let you know about a voluntary action we’ve decided to take and ask for your cooperation.
We have identified a potential problem with the Aerobar extension mounting hardware on Carbon Aerobars with Aero Stem and Hydroformed Alloy Aerobars. We’ve sold these Aerobars separately and as original equipment on the following bike models: 2012-2015 Shiv models (excluding the Shiv TT and Shiv framesets); 2013 Specialized Transition Apex.
Our concern is the extension clamp bolt may break, which could result in the rider losing control. We filed a voluntary report with the Consumer Product Safety Commission and we will work closely with them on approving a new extension clamp kit
which addresses the concern. For safety reasons, we want all riders who have these Aerobars to stop riding.
Our goal is to deliver a solution which puts riders safely back on their bikes as quickly as possible.
