Motorcycle Recall - Yamaha Recall
By Walter F. Kern
NHTSA Campaign ID:
18V695000
Component:
Electrical System
Manufacturer:
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA
Recall Date: 10/04/2018
|
Potential Number of Units Affected: 4,736
|
Defect Summary:
Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2012-2013 Yamaha XTZ12 Super Tenere motorcycles.
Over time, a gap may develop in the protective sealant where the lead wires of the accelerator position sensor (APS) and
throttle position sensor (TPS) connect to the electronic control unit (ECU).
This may cause corrosion on the wires, preventing the engine from returning to idle after the throttle is released.
Consequence Summary:
If the engine does not return to idle when the throttle is released, it can lead to a loss of control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Summary:
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will bypass the wire lead connection with a new sub lead harness multi-connector, free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin in October 2018.
Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926. Yamaha's number for this recall is 990122.
