IMPORTANT SAFETY WARNING

Pre-July 2019, 11-Speed HOLLOWTECH II Road Cranksets Inspection Notice Shimano starts inspection and replacement program.

Shimano Australia Cycling ("Shimano"), starts an inspection and replacement program of selected bonded 11-speed HOLLOWTECH II road cranksets produced between June 1, 2012, up to and including June 30, 2019, for a possible bonding separation issue. This specifically concerns the Shimano ULTRA FC-6800, DURA-ACE FC-9000, ULTEGRA FC-R8000, DURA-ACE FC-R9100 and FC-R9100-P 11-Speed Bonded HOLLOWTECH |I Road Cranksets in Australia. Reports received by Shimano indicate that the bonded parts of the crank arm could separate and break, posing potential fall and crash hazards to consumers. To remedy this situation, Shimano will have any applicable crankset inspected. Shimano will replace any crank arm that fails the inspection process. This inspection is designed to determine whether the crank arms show a possible bonding separation issue and to swiftly remove any possible safety hazard to our consumers. Not all ULTEGRA and DURA-ACE cranksets need to be inspected. Only cranksets produced between June 1, 2012, up to and including June 30, 2019, need to be inspected. The way to identify if a crankset should be inspected is provided in the WHAT TO DO section below. Shimano will replace any cranksets that fail the inspection process free of charge. POTENTIAL RISK Reports received by Shimano indicate that the outer cover of the crank arm may start to separate from the main crank arm body, posing potential fall and crash hazards to consumers. WHAT TO DO CRANKSET IDENTIFICATION AND INSPECTION PROCESS To know if this process applies to your crankset follow the instructions in STEP 1.

The model numbers are stamped on the inside of the crank arm near the bottom of the arm (see yellow square in the image below).

STEP 2 - Take the bicycle to the dealer for inspection Shimano has developed the crankset inspection process and will provide clear instructions and tutorials for dealers. Shimano anticipates that the inspections will be possible starting from OCTOBER 16th, 2023. Further details will be announced shortly via https://bike.shimano.com/en-EU/home.html. The dealer will inspect the crankset for signs of bonding separation or delamination. Consumers whose cranksets show signs of bonding separation or delamination during the inspection will be provided a free replacement crankset from Shimano that the dealer will protessionally install. If your crankset needs replacement following the inspection, please do not use it. If a replacement crankset is temporarily unavailable, Shimano will notify you through your dealer when the replacement is ready. The replaced crankset will be a special version, which may feature a different cosmetic appearance while maintaining the same level of performance.

STEP 3 - Ride safely and continue to maintain your bicycle/equipment. If your crankset passes the inspection and has no signs of delamination, we appreciate your patience and diligence in having the inspection completed. Please continue to enjoy your ride. Have your bike tuned up and inspected regularly, and ask your dealer for recommendations based on your riding habits. Pay attention to changes in the sound and feel of how your bike is riding. Shimano urges all users to thoroughly read the user manual provided with the product (and available online at: si.shimano.com to ensure safe usage and proper maintenance.
