Is that right?

There is no indication that any hollowtech crank* is immune from cracking. If a crank isn't cracked, it's just that it hasn't seen enough usage under the wrong conditions yet. That's why I said upthread that I think they will have to expand this recall. I guarantee that failed cranks will be missed and other cranks will fail after an inspection. The glue can fail from the inside, so it's not evident without a very good NDA inspection by a competent technician that it's safe. And a shop isn't going to be able to do anything other than a visual inspection. Unless I'm wrong and they are sending out bottles of dye and a uv light.
On edit: it has been pointed out that some hollowtech cranks are not bonded. The issue only involves bonded cranks.
