    Calling all http://www.Descent-Gear.com customers who have brought a Shimano PRO Atherton Series direct mount stem. Shimano are recallling them because the bolts can pull out of their threads, causing the faceplate to fall off and, likely, you and your handlebar with it.
    Shimano has received one reported injury. The recall affects involves PRO Atherton direct mount bicycle handlebar stems with the model number PRSS0049 and supplied from October 2009 to November 2010. The front plate is black and silver with the PRO logo in the center. The model number is located on the barcode sticker on the backside bottom of the packaging material. Stems with the following identification codes are being recalled: HH, HJ, HK, HL, IA, IC, ID, IE and IF. Some of these stems were outfitted with 18mm bolts instead of 21mm bolts. The identification code is located on the stem body where the handlebars are seated. If you have one of these, stop riding it immediately and contact http://www.Descent-Gear.com on 0121 423 3532 an authorised Shimano dealer for inspection and bolt replacement.
