Specialized is recalling the forks on their “2012 Tarmac SL4, 2013 Tarmac SL4, 2013 Crux and 2013 Secteur Discs” according to a story on Bike Radar.
All riders with one of these bicycles are asked to stop riding them immediately and bring them to a Specialized dealer, who will remove the fork and ship it to Specialized’s facility in Salt Lake City for inspection. Specialized spokesperson Sean Estes said most forks will not need to replaced, but some may have a 40g carbon sleeve installed inside the steerer tube.
Bike owners will get the fix if they need it and a $100 store credit for Specialized merchandise. Sounds like Specialized continues to do things right, except for the forks, that is.
