Details

What's wrong: 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.

Why it matters: This could allow fuel to leak from around the fuel pump mounted under the fuel tank. Leaking fuel could result in a fire hazard.

The fix: Yamaha dealers will replace the fuel pump o-ring free of charge. The safety recall began on November 15, 2011.
