Hazard

The bicycle's stem has a magnesium faceplate that holds the handlebar in place. The faceplates on the recalled stems can crack, allowing the handlebar to break off the bicycle, posing a serious fall hazard.

What You Should Do

Remedy

Consumers should stop riding the bicycles that have the recalled stems immediately and take them to an authorized Specialized retailer for a free replacement faceplate.
