For the 2006 Yamaha YZFR6. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Yamaha been repaired?

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.

August 5, 2010NHTSA 10V36500053,449 vehicles potentially affected

Exterior lighting

Summary: Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 yzf-R6 motorcycles manufactured from August 2005 through March 2010. The motorcycle's front side reflector was not placed at the proper height which fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence: Visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on August 12, 2010. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.

Vehicle speed control

Summary: On certain motorcycles, the air filter mounting screws may come loose and fall out.
Consequence: If the screws fall out, they could get caught in the throttle valve which could prevent the operator from reducing engine speed properly. This could result in a loss of control and a vehicle crash with injury or death.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the air filter element with a new one that is designed to hold the screws securely free of charge. The recall began on November 29, 2006. Owners may contact yamaha at 714-761-7842.

Service brakes, hydraulic

Aftermarket equipment: applies only if this part was installed

Summary: Certain crg front brake levers, model RB-511 designed for use on 2004-2006 yamaha yzf-R1 motorcycles, and 2005-2006 yamaha yzf-R6 motorcycles. Model RB-512 is designed for use on 2003-2006 ducati 749 and 999 motorcycles, and on 2004-2006 aprilia mille r motorcycles. Due to a misalignment of the pivot bore, the brake lever could become seized in the brake engaged position, thereby preventing the front brake from disengaging.
Consequence: A non-release condition could cause drag on the front brake system, which could possibly result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy: Crg will notify owners and replace the rocker for the front lever free of charge. The recall is expected to begin during may 2006. Owners may concact crg at 831-763-7811.
