AL6061 v.07
If you purchased, received, were given and/or owned a
Designated Crankset or a bicycle equipped with a Designated
Crankset in the United States, you may be eligible to receive
benefits from a class action settlement.
A court has authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
• A settlement has been reached in a class action lawsuit against Shimano North America Bicycle, Inc. and Shimano
North America Holding, Inc. (together, “Shimano”), and Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc., Trek Bicycle
Corporation, and Giant Bicycle, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”). In September 2023, Shimano voluntarily
recalled Shimano Hollowtech II cranksets in the United States that had been manufactured before July 2019
(the “Voluntary Recall”). Plaintiffs alleged breaches of warranties, and sought relief in connection with the
advertising and marketing of Defendants’ products and the alleged inadequacy of the voluntary recall. There are
no allegations that Plaintiffs have suffered any physical injuries from the cranksets involved.
• You are a Settlement Class Member entitled to receive benefits under the Settlement if the following Settlement
Class definition applies to you: all Persons who purchased, received, were given, and/or owned a Designated
Crankset (defined below) in the United States, other than solely for resale purposes. This includes, without
limitation, Persons who purchased, received, were given, or owned a bicycle equipped with a Designated
Crankset.
• Designated Crankset means any of the following Shimano cranksets manufactured before July 2019: Ultegra
FC-6800, Ultegra FC-R8000, Dura-Ace FC-9000, Dura-Ace FC-R9100 and Dura-Ace FC-R9100-P, with any

Shimano will extend the duration of the Express Warranty until July 29, 2027. This extension applies only
to the Express Warranty’s coverage of bonding separation and delamination of the Shimano Designated
Crankset. Delamination refers to the early stages of separation at the interface (the part where the two parts
are bonded together) between the crank set body and cover. Evidence of delamination may include signs of
corrosion and breaking. You do not need to submit a Claim Form to receive extended Express Warranty
coverage, it will be extended automatically.
Enhanced Inspection – Under the Voluntary Recall, consumers were advised to contact a retailer in the

inspection of Designated Cranksets. Under this Settlement, Shimano agreed to enhance that inspection by:

Approved Enhanced Manual to Recall Retailers; (3) making Shimano employees available to Recall Retailers
during normal business hours in California to advise about how to perform inspections; (4) requiring Recall
Retailers to affirm that they have reviewed and will utilize all materials provided by Shimano related to
the Inspections; (5) instructing Recall Retailers to make certain information available to Settlement Class
Members whose Designated Crankset passes an inspection; and (6) providing public outreach regarding the
Voluntary Recall; and
3. R
eimbursement of Costs – Settlement Class Members may submit a Claim Form with supporting
documentation to receive reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket costs for purchasing a replacement
crankset and installing it on their bicycle. Reimbursement is not available if (a) the Designated Crankset
was replaced on or after September 21, 2023, or (b) at the time of replacement, the Express Warranty was
not expired as to that Designated Crankset. For Ultegra FC-6800 and FC-R8000 Designated Cranksets,
the Express Warranty expired two years after the date of original retail purchase. For Dura-Ace FC-9000,
R9100, and FC-R9100-P Designated Cranksets, the Express Warranty expired three years after the date of
original retail purchase.

Basic Information
1. Why is this Notice being provided?
A court authorized this Notice because you have the right to know about the Settlement of this class action lawsuit,
and about all of your rights and options, before the Court decides whether to grant final approval of the Settlement.
This Notice explains the lawsuit, the Settlement, your legal rights, what Settlement benefits are available, who is
eligible for them, and how to get them.
The Honorable James V. Selna of the United States District Court for the Central District of California is overseeing
this class action. The lawsuit is known as In re Shimano Crankset Litigation, Case No. 8:23-cv-02038-JVS-JDE. The
people who filed this lawsuit are called Plaintiffs, and the companies they sued (Shimano North America Bicycle,
Inc., Shimano North America Holding, Inc., Specialized Bicycle Components, Inc., Trek Bicycle Corporation, and
Giant Bicycle, Inc.) are the Defendants.
2. What is this lawsuit about?
The Plaintiffs filed this lawsuit against Defendants on behalf of Settlement Class Members, alleging various legal
claims related to the advertising and marketing of Defendants’ products and the alleged inadequacy of the Voluntary
Recall. In September 2023, Shimano voluntarily recalled Hollowtech II cranksets in the United States that had
been manufactured before July 2019. More information regarding the Voluntary Recall is available on the following
website https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2023/Shimano-Recalls-Cranksets-for-Bicycles-Due-to-Crash-Hazard.
Defendants deny these allegations and deny any wrongdoing or liability. The Court has not made any determination
of any wrongdoing by Defendants or that any law has been violated. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendants have
agreed to a settlement to avoid the risk, cost, and time of continuing the lawsuit.
3. Why is the lawsuit a class action?
In a class action, one or more people called Class Representatives sue on behalf of other people who have similar legal
claims. Together, the people are a class or class members. One court resolves the issues for all class members, except
for those class members who timely exclude themselves (opt out) from the class.
4. Why is there a Settlement?
The Plaintiffs and Defendants do not agree about the legal claims made in this lawsuit. The lawsuit has not gone to
trial, and the Court has not decided in favor of the Plaintiffs or Defendants. Instead, the Plaintiffs and Defendants
Questions? Go to www.ShimanoCranksetSettlement.com or call 1-888-873-3150.

AL6063 v.07
have agreed to settle the lawsuit. The Class Representatives and their lawyers believe the Settlement is best for
Settlement Class Members because of the Settlement benefits available and the risks and uncertainty associated with
continuing the lawsuit.

If you do not want the benefits of an extended warranty or reimbursed costs from this Settlement, but you instead want
to keep the right to sue or continue to sue Defendants and the Released Persons on your own, about the legal issues in
this lawsuit, then you must take steps to get out of the Settlement. This is called excluding yourself from—or “opting
out” of—the Settlement.

by private courier (such as FedEx), which includes the following:
1. Your full name;
2. The serial number of your Designated Crankset(s); and

Settlement Class Member will not be allowed.
18. If I exclude myself, can I get reimbursed for my costs from the Settlement or receive the benefits

claims that are released by the Settlement. You must exclude yourself from this lawsuit to start or continue with your
own lawsuit or be part of any other lawsuit against Defendants and the Released Persons about the Released Claims
in this lawsuit. If you have a pending lawsuit, speak to your lawyer in that lawsuit immediately.
Objecting To The Settlement
20. How do I tell the Court that I do not like the Settlement?

Hearing have not changed.
23. Do I have to attend the Final Approval Hearing?
No. Class Counsel will answer any questions the Court may have. However, you are welcome to attend at your own
