Specialized Sirrus Recall: Check the Model and Year Before Applying a Notice

A Specialized Sirrus recall applies to the models and equipment identified in its notice, not automatically to every bicycle with Sirrus lettering. The manufacturer's March 2022 announcement expanded an earlier crank recall. Checking the complete designation and year is the first step toward understanding whether that specific action concerns your bike.

Read the Specialized Sirrus recall scope by year

The expanded notice lists 2019 Sirrus Sport, including EQ and Step-Through versions, and Sirrus X Comp Carbon. Its 2020 list includes Sirrus 3.0 and 4.0, plus Sirrus X 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0. The expansion adds 2021 and 2022 Sirrus X 3.0 and 4.0.

The action concerns specified two-piece slotted cranks originally fitted to those models. Preserve the notice's exact model list instead of reducing it to “all Sirrus bikes.” If the bicycle or crank is uncertain, the manufacturer directs owners to an authorized retailer for assistance.

Keep the historical photograph in its proper role

The green bicycle shown here is identified by its photographer as a 2007 Sirrus, photographed in 2012. It is historical family context, not an illustration of a listed 2019–2022 configuration. It should not be used to identify the affected crank style on a newer bike.

Equally, being outside this notice's listed model years is not a general safety certificate. A bicycle may have replacement parts or an unrelated problem, and Specialized's safety-notice index contains other actions. Check the relevant current notice and the actual equipment rather than using one article as an all-clear.

Act on an affected or uncertain bicycle

The March 2022 notice describes an inspection and possible crank reinstallation by an authorized Specialized retailer, at no cost for the recall service. It tells affected riders not to ride until the recall work is performed. Contact the retailer to arrange the appropriate assessment and retain the service record.

Bring the complete model designation, purchase documents if available and information about previous crank changes or recall work. Do not treat tightening a bolt at home as evidence that the prescribed recall service has been completed. Ask the retailer to resolve uncertainty about the notice's applicability.

The ownership-file guide helps organise those documents. More context for older models is available in the Specialized topic.

Notice-scope FAQ

Does Sirrus lettering alone prove recall involvement?

No. The exact model, year and relevant equipment need to be checked against the announcement.

Is the old green Sirrus shown as an affected example?

No. Its source identifies a 2007 model, and it is clearly labelled as historical context.

What if I cannot tell whether my crank is covered?

Follow the notice's guidance: stop riding the uncertain potentially affected bicycle and ask an authorized retailer to identify it.

A Specialized Sirrus recall check is complete only when the actual bike has been matched to the applicable instructions and any required service is documented.
