ON CERTAIN MOTORCYCLES, THE AIR FILTER MOUNTING SCREWS MAY COME LOOSE AND FALL OUT.
IF THE SCREWS FALL OUT, THEY COULD GET CAUGHT IN THE THROTTLE VALVE WHICH COULD PREVENT THE OPERATOR FROM REDUCING ENGINE SPEED PROPERLY. THIS COULD RESULT IN A LOSS OF CONTROL AND A VEHICLE CRASH WITH INJURY OR DEATH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AIR FILTER ELEMENT WITH A NEW ONE THAT IS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE SCREWS SECURELY FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 29, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT YAMAHA AT 714-761-7842.
