Mountain bike handlebar stems
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Profile Design "Stiffy" threadless mountain bike stems can break during use, causing riders to crash and suffer serious injuries. These stems connect handlebars to the bicycle fork and clamp directly around the fork's steering tube. The recalled stems have "Profile" and "Stiffy" written on them, feature a sharply angled (45-degree) rear portion at the top of the steer tube clamp, and a front handlebar clamp with two bolts. They were sold in black, red, blue, yellow, and cream and were distributed individually, on custom-built bicycles, and in parts kits by multiple bicycle retailers and manufacturers including Jamis Bicycles, Softride Bicycle Co., and others.
Affected consumers should stop using bicycles with these stems immediately. According to the recall, consumers can either call Profile Design to obtain a free replacement stem or return the bicycle with the recalled stem to a Profile Design retailer to have the stem replaced at no charge.
