The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) announced a recall by 3T Design. The clamps on the Aura pro handlebars on the company’s Cervélo Bicycles can detach during use, causing the rider to lose control and posing a risk of fall injuries.
The Aura Pro custom bicycle handlebars are original equipment on the 2013 Cervélo P-Series bicycles which come in black, gray and red color combinations. The handlebars are finished in glossy black with “3T,” AURA-PRO,” and “ULTIMATE-PERFORMANCE” written in white on the handlebar’s top surface. The recall includes the P3 with Shimano Ultegra and P5 Three with SRAM Red bicycle models. “Cervélo” and “P3” or “P5” appear on the bicycle’s frame.
Cervélo bicycle were sold nationwide from September 2012 through January 2013 for about $3,600 for the P3 with Shimano Ultegra bicycle and about $6,000 for the P5 Three with SRAM Red bicycle with these handlebars.
