Shimano Crank Delamination

Hey there!

We understand your worries, and it's great that you're keeping an eye out for potential issues.

Regarding the Shimano crankset recall, Shimano Australia's communication states that if there is any delamination or signs of delamination of a crankset it will be replaced by Shimano. Any shimano dealer, including BikesOnline, can perform an inspection of a crankset at any time to check for the issue. The dealer, or BikesOnline, will then facilitate the replacement process with Shimano.

Shimano's policy is open-ended, meaning it doesn't matter if you're the first or second owner. If your crankset shows any signs of the issue and falls within the specified date range, they will replace it.

Take note that this not a pre-emptive recall replacement policy but is dependent upon an issue being visible in your crankset adhering to the specified codes.

Below is the process on how to check your crankset.

1. Check your crank arm for the model number. The affected products are DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA branded cranksets with the following model numbers (yellow):

- ULTEGRA FC-6800

- ULTEGRA FC-R8000

- DURA-ACE FC-9000

- DURA-ACE FC-R9100

- DURA-ACE FC-R9100-P

If you do not have these models of cranks, then you shouldn't be affected by the recall. If you do have a model of crankset that is affected proceed to the next step to confirm further.

2. Check the date code (blue)

The affected models are pre‐July 2019 production and have the following two‐letter 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.

If your crankset has a date code that is consecutively after or before the date codes listed above, you shouldn't be affected by the recall. If you do have a crankset that has one of the date codes above, please get in touch with us.

Regardless of Shimano Australia's recall stipulations, BikesOnline will always be available to assist with any issue you may have. Our primary goal is to ensure you have an incredible cycling experience, and if anything goes awry, we're here to assist you promptly.
