In the UK it depends who your contract of sale is with, don't know about non-UK
here the shimano warranty is actually on the battery itself, as is the wiring cable and obviously the motor. Yours should be the same. Canyon will be required to notify you, but its shimanos responsibility

They also seem to think a replacement battery is on its way
so the canyon page at their site, says we will contact you later, after we figure out what the next steps will be.

I would not assume a new battery is coming just yet, because next step may be an inspection by your nearest Shimano tech. I honestly doubt this. But its how they worded it. They left the door open.

This is all a legal issue, and like car dealers, a stop sale of effected products until there is a resolution that returns the end user to a safe product.

agreed, its in the hands of the legal profession now 🤷‍♂️
as to inspection, thats a longterm rolling lifetime of inspection as its probable that all plastic casings will fail eventually:unsure:

Hello! A new owner from basque country! Spectral cf9 900wh batery.
I have a month to a free retourn of the bike. Waiting news...
If you can return the bike I would do it - even if it is expensive and cumbersome to do.

If the faults issues are by design, there is really not much they will do and the window of solution is clearly unknown.

Do not want to be dramatic but here is it.
