I presume something like an SLX hollowtech crank from 2013 will have no such issues? It shouldn’t but if it is hollow tech is is possible to fail. There has been cases of xt and XTR cranks failing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s likely a lot more in reality as not everyone who experiences a failure will run back to Shimano if the product is out of warranty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

love2fly Posted September 30, 2023 Share I wonder where this leaves someone trying to sell a gem of a bike which happens to have an affected crankset? Bummer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted September 30, 2023 Share Maybe I'm not as alarmist but if the crank qualifies for replacement it gets replaced or, if it does not, they sell the gem bike as a gem bike just like before. 🤷♂️ eddy, Meezo and ChrisF 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robo Posted October 3, 2023 Share Do we know if the 1st of October is only for the European markets? Anybody started the process yet? Danger Dassie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the point I wanted to make earlier when mentioning the lack of mention from local cycling media, there are at least seven brands out there. Although Coolheat as the agency did share the notification from Shimano. Wait and see feels a bit cavalier, the consensus it is a global recall process. Based on that I think it will take a while for the programme to roll out across the board. DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted October 4, 2023 Share My retailer called and informed me the local inspection and replacement process is in place. Contact your lbs to find out if they’re approved by CH for inspection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did we expect anything less from Shimano? they’ve never fully admitted fault . It’s all maybes and subjectivity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
