NHTSA recall 11V338000
Electrical System · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: The ground joint connector of the wire harness could overheat and become deformed, possibly causing an intermittent ground wire connection. If the electrical system is not properly grounded, the ignition system and/or other electrical components could malfunction, which could cause the engine to stall.
Why it matters: If the motorcycle stalls while being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death.
The fix: Yamaha dealers will install an additional wire sub-lead or, if the ground joint connector has already been damaged from overheating, dealers will install a new main wire harness. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on July 8, 2011.
