My Ultegra cranks were just replaced by my LBS under the recall and I noticed they product number on the cranks is FC-08. I have never seen this product number before and can’t find anything on it on line other than some mention about Stages power meter cranks. Anyone have any idea if this is some one off by Shimano for the recall?
They have unique product codes because they are essentially 12sp cranksets with 11sp chainrings. The rings are designed specifically for this recall.
did they find something on your replaced cranks? or they just replaced them.
Thanks…figured something like that. Was just curious in event I want to upgrade to12sp at some point.
LBS head wrench said my cranks had “an issue” so sent back to Shimano who replaced them with these new ones. I will say the new ones look very nice.

Do the existing 11 speed chainrings fit these cranks?
Shimano response to question, so if I my crank is considered fine after visual inspection and it subsequently fails causing significant injury, what is Shimano position on that.
The Shimano representative said that’s your problem, I asked what if I die as a result of the failure, they said that is my risk to take.
lol

The mechanic that I work with indicated that it’s likely that ALL 11-speed Ultregra and DA cranks will be included in the recall. He’s warranty-replaced several that are outside of the stated recall but had the exact same issue.
I took 3 sets of cranks in for inspection, and the mechanic called me an hour later saying they’re all clear. Also said that they have inspected 50+ cranks with no issues…

Get that in writing from the rep lol.

When you say “Shimano representative”, what do you mean? Was this an actual Shimano employee?

This is what I want to know! I want to buy someone’s recalled crankset but I have 55t-42t DA chain rings I want to put on this one with chainrings for a child. But before I purchase, I need to know if my old 55t big boy chain ring will fit on these recall issued cranks.

No, existing 9000 rings won’t fit. Only the rings supplied will fit.
Thanks for reminding me. I have an 11sp Ultegra I think 6800 on the road bike. Def recalled. The crankarms look glued to the spider.
Did we have a discussion about how boneheaded of a design that was? Glue bonding on a mass-produced part that is exposed to elements, is often expected to last many many years, and is subject to high dynamic loads?
Has anyone had their cranks with a power meter recalled? What did Shimano give you for compensation?
