I think Orbea are only replacing them if they were supplied with alloy and they should have been carbon (Ltd and Team).Surely now that Shimano only recommend their cranks for the EP8, the e13 ones have been wrongly specified, so Orbea should replace them, that been said I've done over 1500 miles on my M20 with the E13 alloy ones with no problems, but I still feel like I'm waiting for them to fall off at some point, hopefully within warranty.
I've not had any problems with my alloys since I followed the updated fitting guidance from e13.
Confidence in them was shattered though as was nearly my shinbone when the left arm fell off at pace downhill!
I do now have Shimano fitted under a warranty claim.
I don't think anyone from Orbea wants a general recall on all e13 cranks fitted onto EP motors but maybe they should do so under goodwill.
The bigger problem will comes if drive shafts get damaged as who will one will want to pick the bill.
