Intent to Recall 2006~2009 FJR13A/AE Models

Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect which relates to motor

vehicle safety exists in 2006~2009 FJR13A/AE model motorcycles. In affected

motorcycles, the ground joint connector of the wire harness could overheat and become

deformed, possibly causing an intermittent ground wire connection. If the electrical

system is not properly grounded, the ignition system and/or other electrical components

could malfunction, which could cause the engine to stall. If this happens while the

motorcycle is being ridden, there could be a crash resulting in injury or death.

Yamaha intends to recall these motorcycles for a modification of the electrical system. A

Technical Bulletin with all necessary information will be provided in the near future.

Until then, please suspend sale of any 2006~2009 FJR13A/AE motorcycles in your

inventory.

As with all safety recall campaigns, Yamaha will be notifying all registered owners of

affected units by mail.

Will have more details as they make them available.
