Cervelo Douches on aerobars aren't dangerous enough, now the bars fall off while riding- great.
Link to recall notice is here T3 Recall.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (BRAIN) — In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Health Canada, 3T has announced the
recall of 2012 and 2013 Cervélo P5 bicycles fitted with 3T Aduro aerobars.
The forward extension mounts can detach from the base bar while
riding, causing the rider to lose control and posing a risk of injury.
3T has received 28 reports of incidents, including one report of a
broken collarbone and four reports of abrasions.
The recalled Aduro bars were manufactured between January and July
2012 and are identified by their serial number. The recalled bars are on
about 1,300 Cervélos in the U.S. and about 225 in Canada.
The serial number is on a label inside the base bar under the stem
cap on the rear wall. The serial number is the seven-digit number
following “FM78-Basebar-.” The manufacture date-code is the first four
digits of the serial number in the MMYY format. Date codes for the
defective handlebars are in the range 1201-1207.
Cervélo and 3T jointly issued a stop-sale order to retailers for the
affected bars on Aug. 9, 2013. A green “é” sticker on the lower surface
of the Aduro basebar distinguishes P5 bicycles that have already been
inspected and passed at retailers.
