Specialized Bicycle Components recalled about 11,100 Haul ST and Haul LT e-bikes because the 13-inch telescopic seat post can break when fully extended. A broken post poses a fall hazard to the rider.
The CPSC announced Fast Track recall 25-319 on June 5, 2025. The bikes are Globe-branded and were sold between January 2023 and March 2025.
No lawsuit, class action or MDL names the Haul. The only action so far is the CPSC recall, which covers the seat post and not the rest of the bike.
Latest Specialized Haul Lawsuit Updates
June 5, 2025: CPSC Announces the Haul E-Bike Recall
The CPSC announced a Fast Track recall of about 11,100 Globe-branded Haul ST and Haul LT e-bikes [1]. The 13-inch telescopic seat posts can break when fully extended, posing a fall hazard.
Specialized offers a free repair through its authorized retailers. Owners should stop using the bike until the repair is done.
What Is Specialized Haul?
The Specialized Haul is the Globe-branded e-bike sold as the Haul ST and Haul LT. The CPSC says the recall involves 13-inch telescopic seat posts that came as original equipment. Both names are printed on the downtube.
The Specialized notice says an extended lower seatpost may break under heavy loads and calls the action a voluntary recall of select lower seatposts [2].
Who May Be Affected?
Owners and riders of Haul e-bikes with a 13-inch lower seat post may be affected. Bicycle stores, other authorized Specialized retailers nationwide and specialized.com sold the bikes from January 2023 through March 2025.
The bikes cost between $2,500 and $3,500. If you were hurt in a fall on a Haul, each situation needs its own individual legal review, and no result can be promised.
Reported Injuries or Damages
The CPSC says the firm received 13 reports of incidents. Two of them involved minor injuries consisting of scrapes and bruises.
These are reports made to the recall record. They are not lawsuit allegations or medical findings. A report alone does not show that the seat post caused every incident.
Damages would depend on what a rider lost in a particular fall, such as medical care or time away from work.
Recall and Regulatory Background
The CPSC lists the Haul seat post action as recall number 25-319. The repair consists of a new post made of a different material, and the retailer does the work at the store.
A recall does not by itself prove liability or decide any injury claim, and a case would need proof tying the seat post to a particular injury.
Evidence to Preserve
Keep the following items after a fall from a Haul e-bike, and do not throw away a failed seat post:
- Photographs of the seat post and any break
- The bike, its serial number and the seat post itself
- The purchase receipt or order record and the dealer name
- Recall repair records and emails from Specialized or the retailer
- Medical records and bills
- Photographs of your injuries and the scene
- Names of any witnesses
Filing Deadlines
State law sets the deadline for an injury claim. Missing a deadline can end a claim. The time limit changes with your home state and the date of your fall.
If you were hurt on a Haul e-bike, speak with a lawyer promptly so that your rights are not lost.
Potential Compensation
A hurt rider may claim damages, such as medical bills, lost income or pain and suffering. Any claim depends on the facts. Compensation amounts vary by case. Past results do not guarantee future outcomes. Potential compensation is uncertain.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is There a Specialized Haul Recall Lawsuit?
A Specialized Haul recall lawsuit is separate from the Turbo Levo case. Bicycle Retailer reports that a Washington man sued Specialized Bicycle Components on October 21, 2025 in federal court in Washington over a Turbo Levo motor defect called overrun [3].
Where Were the Recalled Haul E-Bikes Made?
The recalled Haul e-bikes were manufactured in Taiwan. Specialized Bicycle Components Inc., of Morgan Hill, California, imported them, according to the CPSC recall notice. The importer is the recalling firm named in the notice.
How Do I Check If My Haul Seat Post Is Affected?
To check your Haul seat post, remove the entire seatpost with the saddle installed and inspect the markings on the lower portion. Thirteen height markings means the post is affected. Fifteen means it is not. If unsure, see an authorized retailer.
How Do I Contact Specialized About the Haul Recall?
You can contact Specialized about the Haul recall toll-free at 877-808-8154, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. MT, Monday through Friday. You can also email ridercare@specialized.com for questions about the free seat post repair.
What Is the Recall on E-Bikes in 2026?
The recall on e-bikes in 2026 is a separate action from the Haul recall. Specialized’s March 2026 notice recalled the forks of all Turbo Como SL bikes sold from 2021 onward. The steerer tube may develop a small fatigue crack, posing a fall hazard [4].
