Details
What's wrong: Due to an incorrect assembly process, the clutch push lever oil seal may crack, allowing engine oil to leak out.
Why it matters: If oil leaks from the engine, the oil may get on the rear tire, causing a loss of control and increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the clutch push lever oil seal, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2016.
