Specialized recalling Body Geometry pedal extenders

Published July 15, 2015

WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — Specialized is working with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Canadian consumer safety officials to recall about 6,500 pedal axle extenders, used for bike fits.

The recalled axle extenders are made of stainless steel and fit a 9/16-inch pedal thread. They are labeled with an “L” and an “R.” 

About 6,500 of the extenders were sold in the U.S. and 380 in Canada from January 2009 to June 2015 for about $40. There have been 10 reports of the pedal extenders breaking, including two reports of minor injuries, involving scrapes and bruises.

Consumers should stop using the extenders immediately and visit a Specialized dealer for a refund. Consumers can contact Specialized at (800) 722-4423 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit specialized.com and click on the Safety Notices link under the Support column on the bottom.
