DEFECT #1 - POWER TRAIN:MANUAL TRANSMISSION


Posted on: 2015-03-25
Description
Yamaha motor corporation, usa (yamaha) is recalling certain model year 2015 fj-09 (fj09f/fc), fz-09 (fz09f/fc), fz6r (fz6rf/fc), super tenere (xtz12f/fc), super tenere es (xtz12ef/efc), and r6 (yzf-r6) motorcycles manufactured september 1, 2014, to november 17, 2014.  The affected motorcycles may have an incorrectly manufactured shift cam segment stopper, having a sharp edge on the inside of the bend instead of a smooth radius.  As a result, the stopper can crack and possibly fracture at this sharp edge.

Consequence
If the stopper fractures, the transmission may not shift properly, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift shaft assembly with a new one, free of charge.  The recall began on april 6, 2015.  Owners may contact yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926.  

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
