Specialized says that about 2,500 battery packs installed on certain Turbo Levo and Kenevo mountain bikes may allow water to leak inside, which could cause a short-circuit leading to fire and/or a burn hazard. Owners are advised to discontinue use immediately and contact Specialized by phone (800-772-4423) or email ([email protected]) for repair. Do not charge the battery packs or expose them to wet conditions.
