We have identified a potential performance issue with respect to our mechanical disc brake calipers for road bikes sold after February 2012. The affected models are: BR-CX75, BR-R515 and BR-R315 (sold outside of N. America). No injuries have been reported, but we are voluntarily recalling the affected brake calipers, and are replacing them with improved calipers in which the performance issue no longer exists..
Consumers should immediately stop using bicycles with the recalled brake calipers and bring them to a Shimano authorized retailer in your area for a free inspection and installation of replacement calipers.
For further information, call Shimano North America Bicycle, Inc. toll free at 1-800-423-2420
(Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm P.T.)
The recall of the brake calipers is being conducted in conjunction with the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission, which is monitoring the recall effort for effectiveness.
