Summary

Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2009 YW125 "Zuma 125" scooters manufactured between July 2008 and April 2009 due to possible improper clearances in the internal fuel pump components. These improper clearances may cause an inadequate supply of fuel.

Consequence

The limited fuel supply could cause engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump with a newly designed fuel pump. The recall began on February 27, 2013. Owners contact Yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
