Fwd: Shimano crankset recall

[Mike Sturgill]

Hello Bulls and randos.

Sorry for the cross-posting, but I want this to reach as many group members as possible.

Below is a message I received regarding a recall of Specific Shimano crank sets. Please read thru the recall to see if you might have an affected crank. I found that I do have one of the Ultegra FC-6800 crank sets in the recall. The only "Shimano Inspection Location" in the Phoenix area is Bikemasters in Queen Creek. There is also an official inspection location in Oro Valley, near Tucson. I'll let you know what I find with my cranks.

Here is the official announcement from Shimano, along with instructions for crank identification and inspection:

https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/information/customer-services/corrective-actions/11-speed-hollowtech-ii-crankset-recall-notice.html

Note that this is not a "no questions asked" blanket replacement but rather an inspection.

"If your crankset passes the inspection and has no signs of delamination, we appreciate your patience and diligence in having the safety inspection done. You may continue using your crankset as normal."

 

From the same page:

Hey Lee,

You might want to see if they have the 105 Di2 derailleur. It's a little heaver by a few grams, but the performance is the same.

I also have one of the recalled cranks. As I understand it, they won’t replace your cranks unless you are experiencing a specific delamination problem, thus the required official inspection.  I, unfortunately, have a different problem. My Di2 rear derailleur is shot and Ultegra derailleurs are back ordered until at least November. Looking for alternatives. 

Happy Trails,

Lee

The 105 DI2 is 12-speed only.

Bummer to hear that! It turns out that I have 2 crank sets on the recall list. I have an FC-6800 and an FC-R8000. UGH!

Now you tell me!  Definitely had the delamination issue on the crankset a few years ago. There was no replacement at that tine. Threw it away and bought a SRAM Red crankset instead.
