Yes, but Shimano has changed their process to assure that the previous failure doesn't happen (or so they say).

And the replacement cranksets are around 10% heavier. I'd imagine they made some design changes.

So they weren’t sent to Shimano?

Hopefully the class action lawsuit gets shimano's attention..doubt it tho. shimano has a legion of lawyers working on this debacle.

They look like 6800 & R8000 had babies.

Correct, the other three were only inspected locally.

I’m in the camp that Shimano has the liability. If not, those shops better worry about the hundreds of cranks they’ve sold over the years.

Most bike shops in the U.S. have insurance for that. I don't know if we are going to see any suits about failures, but if we do, it's going to name any shop that was involved with the crank. That's just how the U.S. legal system works. Last time I was at jury selection, one case had 5 sets of lawyers. It was a real cluster, and a particularly annoying waste of time.

I haven't really read any of this thread.
As a boots on the ground shop manager, I can tell you that Shimano is explicitly releasing inspection-participating shops from liability should an inspected crank fail down the line. I just sent in a crank last week that I thought would get returned to me, billed as being fine - new DA crankset on the way as of Friday. |

The fact that an LBS could inspect a crank that passes inspection and then fails and causes injury would be enough for me to either not participate in the inspections or send every crank that came through my door to shimano to decide. In the current plan there is even a record logged in the shimano system that the lbs inspected and passed a crank. Shimano never even had the chance to look at it. food for thought. Imagine this scenario applied to automobiles... if the dealer said it was good for now and the recall failed later causing injury, the dealership, the service advisor, the mechanic, and anyone else who it couod be proved was.involved in passing the item, would absolutely be named in a civil case. I'm not a lawyer, but I've known people who have sued for injuries in civil court and a business owner who was sued for north of 7 figures. Last edited by Permanent socks; 10-21-2023 at 06:43 PM. |
