I'm sure there will be lots of discussion on the recall just announced. How will it be handled? Anyone have any insight to the recall?

1. You are one of the very few riders that can push so hard on the pedals that you cause delamination of the drive side crank arm or
2. You actually have one of the few that were built incorrectly and were not properly glued together and started coming apart.

If this was actually a problem, Shimano would have done something a long time ago. Just remember that Shimano came up with just about every improvement in bicycle components since they opened their doors be it the Freehub, Brifters or electronic shifting.
While all of the internet is astir with class action suits you must first show actual measurable personal harm. I had one of those that started coming unglued and simply took it back and got a new one It made noise which is harmless. Not that I can't conceive of situations in which someone COULD get hurt, but I never really saw a plausible report of such happening.
