Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Specialized Bicycle Components is recalling Tektro TL-83 brake levers sold on 2012 S-Works Shiv and 2012 S-Works Shiv TT bicycle frame modules, as well as these levers sold as aftermarket service parts. The adjuster cap and brake cable can slide out of position, causing the brakes to become non-operational and potentially causing a rider to lose control of the bicycle and crash. The affected levers are black aluminum with a quick release slot at the top of the lever arm, designed for use with aerobars, and have the model number "TL-720" printed on the side of the lever arm.
According to the recall notice, consumers should immediately stop riding bicycles equipped with these TL-83 brake levers. Affected consumers should return the levers or modules to an authorized Specialized Bicycle Components retailer for free replacement brake levers.
