To help us all out, I'm going to start keeping an eye on cycling-related product recalls and post them here with links. You should investigate further if any of these affect you.
Here are the latest that I've found:
Specialized Bicycle Forks
This one affects all models of the 2012 Tarmac SL4, 2013 Tarmac SL4, 2013 Crux, and 2013 Secteur Disc bicycles and framesets sold from August 2011 to January 2013.
The front fork steerer tube can break, creating a fall hazard.
If you have one of these bikes, you should immediately stop riding the bike and return it to an authorized Specialized retailer for inspection and, if appropriate, repair of the fork at no charge.
