It is on models with the future schock. Does not have to do with future shock per se. As I understand, its a replacement of the steerer tube collar, seems it degrades after being sweated on for a few years and could lose function. I'm saying this only because I'd hate for the future shock haters to start chiming in again, although they likely will anyway. My LBS is waiting for the parts and will schedule me in quickly. You're right that its happening at a good time of year, but still the chances of loosing steering are slim and Specialized is just covering themselves by the recall. I appreciate their efforts to make it right instead of denying any responsibility. I love my Diverge.
