NHTSA recall 10V327000
Electrical System, Vehicle Speed Control · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: There could be excessive electrical resistance in the ground wire from the accelerator position sensor (aps) and the throttle position sensor (tps) due to an insufficiently crimped connection.
Why it matters: Excessive resistance can cause incorrect signals to be sent to the engine control unit (ECU) which could lead to unstable idle speed. Improper idle speed can result in a crash.
The fix: Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 28, 2010.
