The class action lawsuit over Shimano’s massive road crankset recall has progressed as a federal judge granted preliminary approval to a proposed settlement on 29 July.
In a statement issued on 4 August 2025, Shimano said: "The finalization of the settlement is subject to final approval by the court. Because the final approval has not yet been obtained, we refrain from disclosing the specific terms of the settlement. However, we consider the terms to be reasonable."
