NOVEMBER 2011 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2012 XTZ12B/BC (Super Tenere) motorcycles, manufactured from June 01, 2011, through August 31, 2011. During the assembly process, the fuel pump O-Ring may have been installed incorrectly in its groove. If the tabs located around the inner circumference of the O-Ring were not seated into the groove properly during pump installation, the O-Ring sealing lip could be pinched and damaged, preventing proper sealing. This could allow fuel to leak from around the fuel pump mounted under the fuel tank. Leaking fuel could result in a fire hazard. Yamaha dealers will replace the fuel pump O-Ring free of charge. The safety recall began on November 15, 2011.   11V-532

NOVEMBER 2011 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2009-2012 XVS95/CT (V Star 950/V Star 950 Tourer) motorcycles, manufactured from October 2008 through August 2011, and model year 2007 XVS1300/CT (V Star 1300/V Star Tourer) motorcycles, manufactured from August 2006 through march 2007. There may not be a proper seal between the fuel pipes for the fuel injectors and the fuel hose that connects them due to an improperly molded fuel hose. Over time, pressurized fuel can begin leaking at the hose connection points, which could result in a fire hazard. Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel delivery pipe free of charge. The safety recall began on November 21, 2011.   11V-533

On affected motorcycles, high oil pressure can build up inside the oil pump causing it to malfunction. Oil might then stop pumping through the engine resulting in severe engine damage that can cause the engine to stall and not restart again. An engine stall can increase the risk of a crash with injury or death. Yamaha dealers will replace the oil pump free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during October 2011. . 11V-483

JUNE 2011 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2006-2009 FJR1300 motorcycles manufactured from February 2006, through March 2009.

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. If the motorcycle stalls while being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death. 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 is expected to begin during July 2011.  11V-338

JUNE 2011 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2011 FJR1300 motorcycles manufactured from January 2011through April 2011.

Visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash. Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on August 12, 2010.   10V-365

JULY 2010 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2009 VMX17 motorcycles manufactured from June 2008 through March 2009. There could be excessive electrical resistance in the ground wire from the accelerator position sensor (APS) and the throttle position sensor (TPS) due to an insufficiently crimped connection. Excessive resistance can cause incorrect signals to be sent to the engine control unit (ECU) which could lead to unstable idle speed. Improper idle speed can result in a crash. Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 28, 2010.   10V-327

SEPTEMBER 2009 -- Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2005 motorcycles manufactured between October 2004 and April 2005. The throttle position sensor can fail.
