YIKES! Specialized Recall - fingers crossed

[Racing roadkill]

Stress corrosion problems really are becoming a bit of a hot potato issue with Q.C. / Q.A. bods at the moment, on safety critical components that undergo repeated stresses in particular. I’ve been an advocate of building a stress corrosion coefficient test into the protocols for over 20 years, people are finally waking up to the idea now.

What, they're all big and diesel-powered?

Expensive & Unreliable !

I have a 2017/2018 Diverge which I bought 2nd hand from someone. Could this be affected too? I might send the frame number off to Rider Care for them to double check.

Ah, just checked my Diverge spec and it should be fine - PHEW!!

First thing I saw via Google was "we offer a lifetime warranty to the original owner against structural defects in material or workmanship".
Possibly they'll be flexible about ownership. Plus there's no getting away from the fact that goods should be fit for sale.

Got my bike back today along with brand new wheels. I told the mechanic when I took it in that it was creaking, turned out the rear rim had a few cracks in it.

Specialized replaced both wheels under warranty
