This week, Specialized announced an expansion of a May 2021 recall affecting battery packs used with two of its electric mountain bikes.
The initial recall affected battery packs for first-generation Turbo Levo and Kenevo models manufactured between 2017 and 2019.Now, the company has expanded the scope of the recall with additional battery part numbers and manufacturing dates. It postedSpecialized plans to contact riders that may be affected, both via email and a notification on Turbo Mission Control, the company’s proprietary app.
For an uncertain number of the battery packs , conductive water can penetrate the seal around the Control Pad. In “very rare cases,” that could trigger a short-circuit, posing a fire or burn hazard, Specialized said. It’s only likely to happen through repeated pressure-washing, the company said. As of this writing, Specialized had not specified whether it received reports of any incidents or injuries due to the recall. Understandably, the brand seems to be erring on the side of caution given that as ebikes have surged in popularity in recent years, reports ofSpecialized Levo recall: does it affect your bike?
