I believe they’ve quietly fixed the issue but never admitted it.

As for the cranks, never forget 2019-2023 THANKSSHIMANO https://instagram.com/thanksshimano
And this goes for the chainsets too I'd say. The fact that I have R8000 cranks marked UK 'NOT' being on the recall list speaks to that.

I still wonder looking at some Pacenti V1 SL23 rims up on the wall I'd never sell just how many products skim under the radar. I have used them for myself with a washer schemata after several trials.

I make the point as unlike the cranks rims wear out faster outta there service life, yada. Is this how products like the V1 SL23 skate ultimately? How many other cycling products skate?
