Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA "Yamaha" is recalling certain 2018-2020 MTT9GT "Tracer GT", 2019 MXTGTKL "NIKEN GT", 2017-2020 MT10, 2018-2020 XTZ12 "Super Tenere", 2013-2020 FJR13, 2018 XV19B "Star Eluder", and 2018-2021 XV19 "Star Venture" motorcycles. The front brake switch can fail due to increased resistance from silicon oxide.
Failure of the front brake switch can cause the brake light to stay on constantly and/or the cruise control system to shutoff unexpectedly. Both situations increases the risk of a crash.
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake switch, free of charge. The recall began January 20, 2021. Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926.
