Reports of Serious Injuries Prompt Recall of 2004 Roubaix Bicycles
About 3,000 2004 Roubaix Comp Roubaix Pro bicycles are being recalled because the cable stop on the bicycle can loosen, which can cause the rider to lose control and fall from the bike.
To date, Specialized Bicycle Components Inc., the importer of the bikes, has received 2 reports of falls that resulted in fractures requiring medical attention and surgery.
The recalled bicycles are as follows: 2004 Roubaix Comp 18, 2004 Roubaix Comp 27, 2004 Roubaix Pro 18, and 2004 Roubaix Pro frameset models. Only bicycles with a single rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are subject to recall. The cable stop is attached through bonding materials and a single rivet mounted at the front of the bicycle. The cables pass through eyelets in the cable stop on the down tube. Bicycles with a double rivet fastening the cable stop to the frame are not subject to recall. The model names of the recalled bicycles can be found on the top tube of the bicycles.
The bikes were sold by Specialized authorized dealers nationwide from September 2003 through August 2004 for between $1,600 and $4,000.
