You get a newer cheaper and sucky looking crank, bottom bracket, and in some cases a front derailleur and chain. Kid you not - because they know that everything needs to match and be clean.
Have dealt with two of these in just the last 6 months.
Shimano has no further liability so long as they replace 'em when notified - and record the transaction. They've already paid a fine to the CPSC in lieu of liability so long as they honor the conditions agreed too. "Inc." has it's privileges.
What exactly are you attempting to say?

An errant piece of flak tore a hole in a wing tank and, like a wounded bird, this is where she landed, not to return on this day, or any other day.
