Scott Sports has today issued a voluntary recall notice on its Speedster bikes, covering both the model's road and gravel derivatives. 

"Scott is conducting this recall due to an inhouse finding that the steerer tube/fork bridge can break, creating a possible fall hazard," explains the notice. A separate report provides further detail explaining that "traces of cracking within the fork steerer" had been found during internal tests.
