Jul 21 at 14:01 comment added nikostra @BenediktBauer I carefully limped to a bike store and got a new crank installed there. It has held up well since then. Sadly they were not too talkative and there was a language barrier, so I don't know much more than what I learnt in this post, but I guess the main reason was me never tightening the pincher bolts of the crank... I still plan to do a more thorough bike service once I'm back home, but I hope I don't have to replace any more parts
Jul 20 at 8:56 comment added Benedikt Bauer I would be highly interested in how this turned out on the end, i.e. what was the damage in the end and if there is some idea what was the root cause of the failure. So if you would give some feedback about it, at least I would be glad to read it.
Jul 19 at 21:59 comment added MaplePanda As an aside, the sticker really says 14-15 Nm now? It's been 12-14 for a very long time. I wonder if Shimano revised the torque spec due to reports of these cranks failing exactly like yours did.
