Has your Yamaha been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Yamaha dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

Engine and engine cooling

Summary

Vehicle speed control

Summary
Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2009 VMX17 motorcycles manufactured from June 2008 through March 2009.

Remedy
Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on July 28, 2010. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
