Shimano, the world’s largest supplier of bicycle components, is issuing a major recall related to a specific group of cranksets due to reported complaints and their acknowledgment of “potential risks of falling and injuries.”

These cranksets may be defective, with a risk of interconnected parts coming loose. More information can be found on Shimano’s website. If the inspection reveals that the crankset is not in good condition, they will replace it free of charge. The company warns that continuing to use it may pose a risk of falls and injuries.
