Dear Dealer, Shimano has identified a potential safety issue involving BR-C3000-R, BR-C3010-R and the BR-C6000-R rear wheel roller brakes. Shimano has discovered that some of the affected rear wheel roller brakes can suddenly lose their braking power even when assembled correctly. To date there have been no reports of incidents. However, as all Shimano products should meet the highest industry standards and in the interest of putting the safety of its consumers first, Shimano voluntarily decided to undertake a recall of the affected roller brakes. The affected brakes have been fitted to new bicycles assembled by many different bicycle brands, and in some cases sold directly to dealers as component parts.
