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.

THE FUEL PUMP UNPREDICTABLY STOPS WORKING AND RENDERS THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO MOVE. THE FUEL PUMP CUT OUT ON ME AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AND I WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE SCOOTER. THIS CREATED A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR ME ON A 3 LANE DIVIDED HIGHWAY. THE FUEL PUMP HAS CUT OUT ON ME IN TRAFFIC MORE THAN 10 TIMES. PROBLEM IS FIXED ONLY BY WAITING. SOMETIMES IT TAKES 15 MINUTES, SOMETIMES IT TAKES 24 HOURS. I WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AT THE DEALERSHIP, AND YAMAHA REFUSED TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM FOR FREE. I SPOKE WITH YAMAHA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY WERE NOT HELPFUL. I TOLD THEM THAT THEY SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE, AS THIS 2011 YAMAHA ZUMA IS HAVING FUEL PUMP PROBLEMS EXACTLY LIKE THE PROBLEMS THE 2009 MODELS HAD. NO WARNING LIGHT COMES ON, NOR DOES THE ECU SEND AN ERROR CODE, BUT NEVERTHELESS THE FUEL PUMP CANNOT BE HEARD PRESSURIZING THE SYSTEM. *TR

YAMAHA ZUMA 125 DIES WHILE IN OPERATION. APPEARS TO RUN OUT OF GAS AND STALLS WHILE IN OPERATION. THIS IS A SCOOTER WITH ONLY 160 MILES ON IT. IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, IT STALLS! VERY UNSAFE! ALMOST GOT HIT BY AN 18 WHEELER! ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE FUEL PUMP IS NOT WORKING. TURN ON THE KEY, NO FUEL PUMP NOISE. THEREFORE, NO GAS! I PURCHASED THIS SCOOTER NEW. I HAD THE ISSUE AT 50 MILES AND IT CONTINUED. ONE YEAR WARRANTY, SO DEALER WON'T ASSIST WITHOUT BILLING ME. THIS SCOOTER HAD A RECALL IN 2009 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. YAMAHA MOST LIKELY PUT THE SAME PARTS ON LATER YEAR MODELS. *TR

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

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.
