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.

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.

Filed Aug 11, 2026

Clutch feel felt off from delivery. The friction zone of the clutch was tight and there was a pulsating vibration when the clutch tried to engage. Thought it was normal for this bike, turns out it wasn't. Got worse as riding over 3500 miles. At 3500, under dealer inspection, advised that the clutch plates needed to be replaced as they were "sticking". Yamaha denied warranty because it is a "Wear item", however this issue was present at delivery. Additionally, almost caused several tip overs because the clutch engagement was not smooth. This lead to instability on hill starts in traffic.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
