NHTSA recall 10V365000
Exterior Lighting · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: The motorcycle's front side reflector was not placed at the proper height which fails to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: Visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on August 12, 2010.
