The bicycle frames can loosen or separate, causing the rider to lose control and fall, although no injuries have been reported.

This recall only involves the 2005 model year R2.5 model bicycles and bicycle frames with serial numbers greater than R251700. The model numbers and serial numbers are printed on the bicycle frame tubes. The frames have clear coating over a carbon fiber with either red and white "Cervelo" decals on the down tube, seat tube and head tube, or blue and white decals in the same locations.
