The agency's original wording
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.
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.
