Specialized Turbo Como SL Electric Bicycles

Specialized Bicycle Components Inc., of Morgan Hill, California, is recalling Specialized Turbo Como SL 4.0 and 5.0 electric bicycles. The bike's fork steerer tube can develop a small fatigue crack that can lead to a progressive failure of the fork, posing a fall hazard. The firm has received one report of an incident involving a steerer tube failing and breaking. No injuries have been reported.

The bicycles were sold online at specialized.com and through Authorized Specialized Retailers between March 2021 through January 2026 for between $3,250 and $4,800. They were made in Taiwan. "Como SL" is printed on the bicycle's seat tube or top tube, and the bikes were sold in a variety of colors, including Cast Umber, Dove Grey and Raspberry (Como SL 4.0), and Smoke, Brassy Yellow and Brushed Silver (Como SL 5.0). Only SL versions in the Como family of bicycles are part of this recall.

Consumers should stop using their Specialized Turbo Como SL bicycles immediately and contact their Authorized Specialized Retailer to schedule an appointment to bring their bike in for a free replacement of the fork at an authorized dealer location. Replacement parts are expected to be available in Spring 2026.
