NHTSA recall 17V221000
Steering · Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Details
What's wrong: The lower handlebar holder may loosen due to a painting issue and the inadequate application of the thread-locking agent.
Why it matters: If the handlebars are not properly secured to the motorcycle, a loss of vehicle control may result, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the lower handlebar holder, free of charge. The recall began April 13, 2017.
