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. Please check this page for further updates and information. Specialized Road Product & Rider Care...

The following notice has been issued by the manufacturer: Notice to Orange RX9 Customers This is important information for all Orange Bikes customer who have purchased an Orange RX9. A number of Orange RX9 bikes were made with forks which have a potential risk of breaking. Under certain circumstances the fork steerer tube can become disconnected from the rest of the fork. While we have had no critical failures, we have had two instances of the steerer becoming detached from the rest of the fork. This occurred after the owners reported the forks making a creaking sound and where the forks were removed for inspection. The safety of our customers is very important to us. Therefore if you are the owner of an Orange RX9 please do not ride your RX9 bicycle until the fork has been checked and you are certain it is safe to use. For details of how to check your forks go to www.orangebikes.co.uk/rx9_fork_recall The affected forks may be fitted to any RX9 bike sold since the release of the model in April...
