What happened
Shimano voluntarily recalled Hollowtech II cranksets manufactured before July 2019 due to a crash hazard. Plaintiffs alleged breaches of warranties and sought relief in connection with the advertising and marketing of the defendants' products and the alleged inadequacy of the voluntary recall. The defendants deny any wrongdoing and no physical injuries were alleged.

How to file

The claim must be submitted or postmarked by August 4, 2026. You do not need to submit a claim to receive the extended warranty—it applies automatically.
Common questions
- How much does the Shimano Crankset Settlement pay?
- Estimated payout: Reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket costs for purchasing a replacement crankset and installing it on your bicycle (if replacement occurred before September 21, 2023, and Express Warranty had expired). Actual amounts depend on how many valid claims are filed — most settlements divide a fixed fund pro rata, so a higher claim rate means a smaller individual check. An "up to" figure is a cap, not a guarantee.
- What is the claim deadline for the Shimano Crankset Settlement?
- This settlement is closed to new claims — the deadline was August 4, 2026. Once a claim deadline passes you generally forfeit your share, even if you qualified.
- Do I need proof of purchase for the Shimano Crankset Settlement?
- Yes. This settlement asks for documentation supporting your claim — a receipt, an account record, or the notice you were sent. Check the official settlement website for exactly which documents are accepted.
- Is the Shimano Crankset Settlement notice real, or a scam?
- Epiq is the settlement administrator for this case. Claims are filed at shimanocranksetsettlement.com. Filing a class action claim is always free — no legitimate settlement charges you to claim, and no administrator will ask for payment, a gift card, or your full Social Security number by email or text. If a notice asks for any of those, it is not from the administrator. When in doubt, ignore the link you were sent and go to the official settlement website directly.
- When will payments from the Shimano Crankset Settlement be sent?
- Class action payouts typically take 12 to 24 months after the claim deadline, and longer if the settlement is appealed. The final approval hearing for this case is set for February 2, 2026; no payments can be issued before a settlement receives final approval.
