147 units affected
Issue: On certain Bolt R-Spec motorcycles, engine oil could leak from the base of the engine onto the road. Safety Risk: Engine oil that leaks onto the road could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Yamaha will contact owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to inspect the base of the engine crankcase for an oil leak. If an oil leak is found, the engine assembly will be replaced.
- Electrical#2013246
626 units affected
On certain motorcycles, a wire harness may have been routed too close to the rear exhaust and could be damaged due to heat. This could result in engine stalling and a loss of vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the rider's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install retaining bands to position the wire harness away from the exhaust.
