If you own or owned a specific Shimano Hollowtech II crankset (Ultegra FC-6800, FC-R8000, Dura-Ace FC-9000, FC-R9100, or FC-R9100-P made before July 2019), a class-action settlement gets you a free extended warranty and inspections. If you already paid to replace a crankset after the original warranty expired, you can file for reimbursement. The deadline to file a claim is August 4, 2026.
If you purchased, received, were given and/or owned a Designated Crankset (Shimano Hollowtech II Ultegra FC-6800, FC-R8000, Dura-Ace FC-9000, FC-R9100, or FC-R9100-P manufactured before July 2019 with specific production codes KF through RF) or a bicycle equipped with such a crankset in the United States, you may be eligible to receive benefits. Payout: Settlement provides extended warranty (no cost), free enhanced inspections at authorized retailers, and reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket costs for replacement and installation for those who replaced cranksets before September 21, 2023 after original warranty expired. No monetary settlement pool; benefits are non-monetary except reimbursements. Proof of purchase is required to file. Claim deadline: August 4, 2026.

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.
How do I file a claim for this settlement?
This record no longer has an open public claim form — confirm the current status and any next steps on the official source.
-
1Find the production code stamped on your crankset and verify it falls between KF and RF. The crankset also needs to be one of these models: FC-6800, FC-R8000, FC-9000, FC-R9100, or FC-R9100-P, made before July 2019.
-
2Figure out which benefits fit your situation. Still riding it? You get the extended warranty and free inspections. Already replaced it before September 21, 2023 after the original warranty had expired? You can file for reimbursement of what you spent.
-
3If you're going for reimbursement, pull together your receipts or invoices for the replacement crankset and any installation costs.
