BICYCLE BRAKE LEVERS
DETAILS: Bicycle Brake Levers imported by Specialized Bicycle Components Inc., of Morgan Hill, Calif.; sold at authorized specialized bicycle components retailers from April 2010 to February 2012. The Tektro TL-83 brake levers are designed exclusively for use with aerodynamic handlebars (aerobars) sold as original equipment on 2010 and 2011 S-Works Shiv bicycle frame modules and 2012 S-Works Shiv TT bicycle frame modules. They are black aluminum and have a quick release slot at the top of the lever arm. The bicycle brake levers were manufactured in China.
WHY: The adjuster cap and brake cable can slide out of position and make the brakes non-operational. This can cause a rider to lose control of the bicycle, posing a crash hazard.
INCIDENTS: The firm is aware of one incident where the rider lost the function of both brakes. No reports of injury or property damage.
Product recall: gas grills, bicycle brake levers - The Washington Post
