Problem: Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2012 xtz12b/bc (super tenere) motorcycles, manufactured from june 01, 2011, through august 31, 2011. during the assembly process, the fuel pump oâ]ring may have been installed incorrectly in its groove. if the tabs located around the inner circumference of the oâ]ring were not seated into the groove properly during pump installation, the oâ]ring sealing lip could be pinched and damaged, preventing proper sealing.
Risk: This could allow fuel to leak from around the fuel pump mounted under the fuel tank. leaking fuel could result in a fire hazard.
Fix: Yamaha dealers will replace the fuel pump o-ring free of charge. the safety recall began on november 15, 2011. owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
