SHIMANO Voluntary Recall Inspection & Replacement Notice:
Shimano has issued a voluntary recall for 11-speed Hollowtech II bonded ULTEGRA and DURA-ACE road cranksets. |

The affected models are ULTEGRA and DURA-ACE branded cranksets produced before July 2019 with the following model numbers:
- ULTEGRA FC-6800 and FC-R8000
- DURA-ACE FC-9000, FC-R9100 and FC-R9100-P
The model number can be found on the inside of the crank arm near the bottom. If your bike has one of the above cranksets it is recommended that you bring it to Parry Sound Bikes (or any Shimano Inspection Location) for inspection. Shimano expects that most cranksets will pass inspection in which case you can expect your bike back in 1-2 business days. In rare cases where the cranksets do not pass inspection, Parry Sound Bikes will communicate and handle the claim (and possible replacement) process on your behalf.
