The company says that the driveside crankarm can disengage and cause riders to lose control, increasing the risk of a fall or related injury.
Products are only subject to recall if "STOUT" is printed on either of the crankarms and the bike comes equipped with a direct-mount chainring manufactured in 2017. Consumers can identify if cranks were manufactured that year by checking the serial code printed on the inside of either crankarm; affected models will start with "17."
The company asks consumers to stop using the recalled bicycles immediately and contact an Authorized Specialized Retailer for instructions on how to receive a free replacement crankarm.
Authorized Specialized Retailer or Specialized Bicycle Components can be reached via a toll-free number by calling 877-808-8154 from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. (PST), Monday through Friday.
Consumers can find more information on the recall by sending an email to ridercare@specialized.com or visiting the Specialized Bicycle Components website and clicking on "Safety Notices."
