Details

What's wrong: In the affected motorcycles, the positive battery cable may be pinched between the seat base and seat bracket.

Why it matters: If the battery cable is pinched, it may chafe and short-circuit, increasing the risk of a fire.

The fix: Yamaha has notified owners, and dealers will replace the positive battery cable and seat bracket, free of charge. The recall began on October 31, 2014.
