Showing 11401–11425 of 15,570 recalls.
LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL
If the vehicle is subject to unusually severe impacts to the front wheel it is possible that the fixing component on the steering shaft can become disengaged. If this occurs and the steering is repeatedly placed on full lock it is possible that over time the steering shaft could become disconnected so resulting in loss of directional control.
Recall affected vehicles to check shaft and relace fixing component with a new design. If the shaft is found to be damaged this will be relaced also.
IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE COMPROMISED
The threaded portion of the brake linkage rod in the brake control system may not be to conformity. This could result in a reduction of braking efficiency.
Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE COMPROMISED
The threaded portion of the brake linkage rod in the brake control system may not be to conformity. This could result in a reduction of braking efficiency.
Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.
BONNET MAY OPEN
It has been established that the mounting bolts on the bonnet catch may loosen. This may cause the lock to become loose and could result in the bonnet suddenly opening.
Recall all affected vehicles to have the bolts checked and tighten if required.
TYRE MAY DEFLATE WITHOUT WARNING
The sidewall of the tyre may have been damaged during fitting to steel wheels. If the sidewall is weakened a bulge may be seen prior to the tyre deflating suddenly. If the tyre deflates suddenly control of the vehicle may become difficult.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the four tyres on the standard steel road wheels.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY MAY BE COMPROMISED
The threaded portion of the brake linkage rod in the brake control system may not be to conformity. This could result in a reduction of braking efficiency.
Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.

Recall affected vehicles to check rod and replace if found not to meet conformity.
RISK OF FIRE
Due to high road salt usage in winter the engine cooling fan module may suffer from corrosion and may overheat and ignite.
Recall affected vehicles to modify wiring loom and to fit water shield to module.
FIRE MAY OCCUR
The top seat belt automatic reel with pyrotechnic ignited pre-tensioner fitted is mounted too close to the sound insulation both nearside and offside. If the vehicle is involved in a substantial collision where the pre-tensioners are deployed a fire may occur as it is possible for the hot gases to ignite the sound insulation.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to rework the sound insulation fitted to both nearside and offside and if necessary fit new top seat belts
ENGINE MAY FAIL
One or more engine cylinder valve springs may fail which will cause abnormal noise and rough engine performance. In the worst case it is possible for the engine to fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the valve springs.

FIFTH WHEEL AND REAR SUSPENSION MOUNTINGS COULD BE COMPROMISED
There have been instances where the M20 screws securing the spring brackets for the driven and tag axles and fifth wheel brackets have not been tightened to the correct torque. This condition if not attended to could lead to the loss of the trailer or loss of directional control.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary tighten the M20 and M14 bolts to the correct torque.
BRAKE PEDAL FOOT PLATE MAY DETACH
The brake and clutch pedal foot plates may detach due to deficient quality of welding that holds them to the brake pedal lever. This could cause the foot to fall off either control and cause an incident.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check the welding brake foot plate to brake lever and where necessary fit new brake and/or clutch pedal assemblies.
ENGINE IDLE SPEED MAY BECOME UNSTABLE
The engine idle speed may become unstable and in the worst case become stuck around 3000rpm due to a poor earth lead connection between the APS/TPS and the ECU.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to add a sub-lead between the APS/TPS and the ECU.
TOP BOX FITTINGS MAY FAIL
It has been established that if a top box is fitted to the machine this can cause stress on the rear mounting points of the frame which will eventually fail and result in detachment of the top box.
Inform all owners not to fit a top box and once Yamaha have identified the fix recall all affected machines to have the rework completed.
LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE.
Steering assistance may be lost because the power steering tensioner pulley material is not to specification. The pulley may fail and cause a loss of drive to the hydraulic pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the power steering tensioner pulley.
FIFTH WHEEL MOUNTING PLATE MAY DETACH
The fifth wheel mounting plate may become loose or in the worst case fall off as a result of the mounting bolts being inadequate.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the fifth wheel mounting plate screws with longer higher strength screws spacing sleeves and lock nuts.
LOSS OF STEERING ASSISTANCE.
Steering assistance may be lost because the power steering tensioner pulley material is not to specification. The pulley may fail and cause a loss of drive to the hydraulic pump.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the power steering tensioner pulley.
FUEL MAY LEAK CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL
The fuel pump flange and fuel tank coupling may not be to specification and therefore leak fuel. The ensuing leak will eventually cause the engine to stall.
Recall the machines that are likely to be affected to check the serial number identifying the tank. If the serial number corresponds to faulty items then it will be replaced with a new tank.
STEERING MAY FAIL
It has been identified that the welds to the left front suspension-strut turret many not be to specification. This could lead to detachment of the suspension-strut turret detachment and subsequent loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles and apply additional weld seams to the turret.
SEAT BELT MAY NOT RESTRAIN PASSENGER
The seat belt mounting bolts in the areas of the B pillar and seat base have been found not to specification. In the event of an accident the restraint function of the seat belt may not be guaranteed.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to check and where necessary adjust the torque of the seat belt mounting bolts in question.
