What is the Bicycle Shimano Gearset Class Action About?
You may be part of a new class action settlement reached with Shimano North America Bicycle, Inc., Shimano North America Holding, Inc., Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc., Trek Bicycle Corporation, and Giant Bicycle, Inc. over allegations that certain Hollowtech II road cranksets manufactured before July 2019 could experience bonding separation and delamination and that the voluntary recall and related warranties and marketing were inadequate.What is the Total Settlement Amount?
The total settlement amount is Undisclosed in the official materials and public summaries. Shimano also extended warranty coverage and agreed to enhanced inspections. The settlement allows reimbursement of qualifying out of pocket replacement and installation costs if you meet the conditions.How Do I Qualify For a Payout?
You must be in the United States and have purchased, received, were given, and or owned a specific bicycle crankset made before July 2019. Covered models included in the bicylce class action settlement are:• Ultegra FC 6800

The included cranksets must have specific two-letter production (such as MF) codes listed on the official site and in the Long Form Notice. Reimbursement applies only if you replaced your Shimano crankset because it separated, delaminated, or showed evidence of delamination or separation and if other conditions below are met.
How Much Can I Get Paid?
The settlement provides reimbursement of reasonable out of pocket costs for buying a replacement crankset and installing it if you replaced due to separation or delamination and you qualify. There is no fixed dollar schedule. Your payment equals your documented costs that meet the rules. No cash is paid for the extended warranty benefit.How Do I File a Claim?

No, if you do not have proof of purchase available you will be required to complete a declaration prior to submitting your claim.In certain cases you may be asked to provide some documentation such as a photograph together with your attestation.
