Both recalls appear to affect the entire crop of Yamaha YZF-R3 motorcycles.
The first recall affects the YZF-R3’s oil pump, which may not be regulating oil pressure correctly, and thus could potentially seize the motorcycle’s engine from lack of oil.
The second recall affects the YZF-R3’s clutch pressure plate bearing, which may break due to an insufficient load rating. This may cause the clutch not to disengage, and prevent the transmission from shifting properly.
In both cases, Yamaha will contact the affected owners, and Yamaha dealers will replace the affected parts, free of charge.
Concerned owners may also contact Yamaha customer service directly.
