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.

This vehicles third gear is making noise and about to be non functioning. There are numerous articles of this issue all over the internet. Yamaha has come up with a new part number for the gear. I've called Yamaha USA and they offered no help. This issue is real and there is no help for the owners who's units are affected by this defect. It's a costly repair and one that the manufacturer should cover since their defective gear is the cause of it.

WHILE RIDING HOME FROM WORK, I SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR AT ABOUT 30 MILES PER HOUR AND HEARD A GRINDING SOUND. WHEN I SHIFTED INTO FOURTH, IT WENT AWAY. UPON DOWNSHIFTING, WHEN I DOWNSHIFTED INTO THIRD WHEN COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT, I HEARD THE NOISE AGAIN. WHEN I STARTED AGAIN FROM THE RED LIGHT, IT MADE THE NOISE AGAIN, ONLY IN THIRD GEAR. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MOTORCYCLE HAS BEEN RIDDEN VERY EASY, AND ONLY HAS 16,190 MILES IN 8 YEARS. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

WHEN THE BIKE SLOWS DOWN, OR WHEN I ENGAGE THE CLUTCH TO DOWNSHIFT THE BIKE STALLS. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE IS COLD OR COOLER, BUT DOES HAPPEN IN THE SUMMER TIME AS WELL. *TR

SEVERAL TIMES UPON COMING TO A STOP OR COASTING THE ENGINE DIES. THIS EVEN HAPPENED AFTER A SERVICE! THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE. VERY DANGEROUS AS I TRAVEL HOUSTON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS DAILY. I HAVE COMMUNICATED WITH OTHER STRATOLINER OWNERS AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM. IS THERE A KNOWN DEFECT? *TR

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

TB-M-2014-003

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL

YAMAHA MC: WHEN LOOKING FOR TECHNICAL INFORMATION, A COMPREHENSIVE INDEX IS PROVIDED REGARDING TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS FOR VARIOUS PROBLEMS. *PE

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
