Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data
Data refreshed
Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

HYDRAULIC UNIT OF THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED ON THE REAR PORTION, CAUSING REAR BRAKES TO LOCK ANYTIME REAR BRAKES WERE FULLY APPLIED. DEALER NOTED CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND DISCUSSED WITH YAMAHA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL OTHERS WITH SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE ON THE ABS WITH THE SAME COMPONENT. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE UNIT APPEARED CORRODED BEFORE REPLACEMENT. THE HYDRAULIC UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN PURCHASED FROM YAMAHA BY MYSELF. THE HYDRAULIC UNIT REPLACEMENT IS IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL PART AND COULD OVER TIME FAIL AS THE PREVIOUS ONE HAS. THE DEALER LISTED HAS PERFORMED ALL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED AS DESCRIBED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

THERE IS A VERY HIGH RATE OF FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT. REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC UNIT IS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION OFFERED BY YAMAHA, & IF NOT WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD, IS A COST PROHIBITIVE $2000 APPROX. I REPAIRED THE HU MYSELF BY CLEANING & POLISHING THE EXISTING PARTS. I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE ACCESS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM. *AK
