NHTSA recall 05V067000
Seats · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: On certain motorcycles, the mounting hardware holding the passenger seat to the fender could loosen due to the passenger's weight shifting on the seat.
Why it matters: If the mounting hardware becomes loose enough to fall off, the passenger seat can fall off the rear fender. A passenger on the motorcycle could lose balance and fall, causing serious injury or death.
The fix: Dealers will replace the passenger seat's mounting hardware free of charge. The recall began on March 4, 2005.
