Scott Sports is voluntarily recalling about 8,000 Speedster bikes worldwide, in cooperation with national authorities, due to a finding that the steerer tube in the front fork can break, posing a hazard. The recall involves model year 2014 Scott Speedster road bikes, the current range, including the women's model, Scott Contessa Speedster. The Speedster models potentially affected include Speedster 30, Speedster 40, Contessa Speedster 25 and Contessa Speedster 35, Speedster 35 and Speedster 45. These bikes have been sold in retail and online stores from about August 2013 to May 2014. Worldwide, one fork failure has been reported to Scott. This failure has not led to injury. Consumers in possession of a recalled model should immediately stop riding the bicycle and take it to an authorized Scott dealer, where a new fork will be installed at no cost.
