Important dates
How hard is this claim to file?
Watch out for
- Reimbursement is only on the table if you replaced the crankset before September 21, 2023 and the original Shimano warranty had already expired by then. Replaced it after that date, or while it was still under warranty? No cash back.
- There's no settlement cash pool here. The core benefits are the extended warranty and free inspections. Reimbursement applies only to that specific pre-September 2023 replacement window.
- You'll need to physically check the production code stamped on the component. It has to land between KF and RF — no code, no eligibility confirmation.
We prepare — you file on the official site yourself. This is not legal advice and is not an eligibility decision; the administrator and court decide.
