SHIMANO Reamed by US Authorities for selling 2,000,000+ Faulty Cranks HUGE RECALL

[SPINMAN]

I know. I had SRAM RED on my last bike but when I bought my current bike, it had electronic shifting. I wanted to try that, and I love it. I checked the serial numbers and manufacturing dates of my Ultegra. I have one that is not involved in the recall, although I am a bit leary of using it hard.

Switch to SRAM! Itll be way better, the way it shifts just feels so unreal compared to Shimano

Do you have another bike you can ride for the time being? I suggest waiting to see what you can get from Shimano. If you take it off the bike, you might not get anything.

I was just reading the update on the products affected. Not all will be recalled. First the production tests go from June 1, 2012 - June 30, 2019.
Next, the models are
FC-6800
FC-R8000
FC-9000
FC-R9100
FC-R9100-P
Look on the inside of the crank arm.

Then determine the production code, again looking on the inside of the crank arm. From there an inspection may be needed to determine replacement or not.
Production codes:
KF, KG, KH, KI, KJ, KK, KL, LA, LB, LC, LD, LE, LF, LG, LH, LI, LJ, LK, LL, MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, MF, MG, MH, MI, MJ, MK, ML, NA, NB, NC, ND, NE, NF, NG, NH, NI, NJ, NK, NL, OA, OB, OC, OD, OE, OF, OG, OH, OI, OJ, OK, OL, PA, PB, PC, PD, PE, PF, PG, PH, PI, PJ, PK, PL, QA, QB, QC, QD, QE, QF, QG, QH, QI, QJ, QK, QL, RA, RB, RC, RD, RE, and RF.

Looking at mine, it is not part of the recall.
