    October 26, 2018: Öhlins RXF Update

    Dear Specialized Rider,

    The safety and reliability of our products is a top priority for us. We have identified a potential problem with an Ö hlins branded RXF36 Air and RXF34 Air suspension forks sold as aftermarket equipment and as original equipment on some Specialized-branded Enduro, Stumpjumper, Fuse, and Levo mountain bicycles. The products were sold between January 2016 through September 2018.

    We have received some reports of the air cartridge abruptly springing out of the fork stanchion tube posing fall and injury risks to the rider. We initiated a voluntary report with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (“CPSC”) and are working closely with them on a press release announcing the recall shortly.

    We are advising customers globally who have purchased Specialized-branded Enduro, Stumpjumper, Fuse, and Levo mountain bicycles with Öhlins branded RXF36 Air and RXF34 Air suspension forks to immediately stop riding and bring them to their Specialized dealer to receive the repair.

    We apologize for the inconvenience this will cause our customers, but it is critically important to us to do everything we can ensure that our bicycles are as safe and reliable.

    Please email

    [email protected] or call directly at 877-808-8154 if you have any questions.

    October 8, 2018: Öhlins RXF Update

      Dear Specialized Rider,

    We don't have any updates on the impending Öhlins RXF Air Forks at this time, but we assure you that our teams are continuing to work with government agencies to make progress on an approval. 

    Thanks again for your patience. We want to get you back on your bike as quickly as we can, and we'll notify you as soon as we have more information.

    Dear Specialized Rider,

    We committed to keeping you updated on the progress of the impending recall of Öhlins RXF Air Forks as originally communicated on September 17, 2018.

    We’re happy to update that Öhlins has been making progress with this investigation and has submitted a technical report to the appropriate government agencies for review. There are many factors affecting the timeline to full approval, so we can't project a date. Our Quality, Legal, and Rider Care teams, however, are directly engaged with both Öhlins and the regulatory agencies to help expedite the process.

    We realize that you bought your bike expecting to actually ride it, and this issue is disrupting your trips, races, and rides with friends. As we work with Öhlins towards a safe and compliant permanent fix, we're committed to using all of our resources to keep you riding. We have a limited quantity of loaner forks that we can provide to your retailer for temporary use. Availability varies by region, but we encourage you to contact your retailer and we'll work with them to support you.

    We will continue to provide weekly progress updates on this page, so please check back with us here next week.

    Thanks again for your patience and thanks for riding Specialized.

    17 de Septiembre, 2018: Ohlins RXF

    Estimado Ciclista Specialized,

    En Specialized, tu seguridad es nuestra principal preocupación. Por lo que, siempre que se vea comprometida, tomamos medidas inmediatas.

    En base a algunos informes de campo, tenemos que emitir un aviso de interrupción de venta con respecto a las horquillas de Öhlins RFX 36 Air 29/27,5+ y 27,5", que están en el montaje original de alguna bicicleta 2017 como: Stumpjumper, Enduro y Fuse, así como en las bicicletas 2018 Stumpjumper: Enduro, Turbo Levo, y Fuse. Hemos llegado a la conclusión, junto con Öhlins, de que estas horquillas pueden tener un defecto en la tapa superior que puede afectar la seguridad. Las horquillas Öhlins RXF 34 Air pueden tener este mismo defecto. Específicamente, la tapa superior del lado derecho de algunas horquillas puede no estar apretada convenientemente, lo que en algunos casos puede ocasionar que esta tapa superior se suelte durante la conducción. Cuando esto sucede, es posible que el cartucho de aire salga bruscamente de la barra, lo que puede ocasionar lesiones al ciclista. Como consecuencia, pedimos a nuestros ciclistas que dejen de utilizarlas, y a nuestros distribuidores que dejen de vender estas horquillas y bicicletas.

    Estamos trabajando, de manera urgente, junto con Öhlins en una solución a este problema. Una vez que hayamos obtenido las aprobaciones gubernamentales (Comisión de Seguridad de Productos para el Consumidor de los Estados Unidos) necesarias para esta solución, pasaremos a retirar las horquillas para su reparación y posterior montaje. A medida que avancemos con nuestra estrategia y aprobaciones, ofreceremos actualizaciones semanales en esta misma página.

    Ten en cuenta que otras horquillas Öhlins, como las horquillas RXF 36 Coil, no se ven afectadas por este aviso.

    Te pedimos disculpas por las molestias.

    Gracias por montar con Specialized.
