Shimano Recalls 760,000 Cranks Due to Bonding Issue

Shimano issued a voluntary recall affecting certain Ultegra and Dura-Ace cranksets manufactured between 2019 and 2024 due to a potential bonding failure between the crank arm layers.

The recall affects FC-R9100, FC-R9200, FC-R8100, and FC-R8000 models with specific serial number ranges. Riders can check their cranks using Shimano online serial number verification tool.

What Riders Should Do

Shimano recommends immediately stopping use of affected cranks and contacting an authorized dealer for free inspection and replacement. The company has set up dedicated inspection centers to expedite the process.

No injuries have been reported, but the precautionary recall aims to prevent potential separation during riding. Replacement cranks are being prioritized for customers in regions with high cycling populations.

Riders awaiting replacement should consider temporary alternatives from their local bike shop.
