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