What was wrong

Defect

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2016-2021 FJR13 motorcycles. The Engine Control Unit (ECU) programming installed under Recall 20V-813 (990141), that was designed to prevent gear damage, may prevent the engine from accelerating as intended.

Risk

A lack of acceleration can increase the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer remedy

Owners are advised not to ride their motorcycles until they are repaired. Dealers will reprogram the ECU, free of charge. Motorcycles that were previously repaired under recall 20V-813 will need to return for the new remedy. Owner notification letters were mailed November 30, 2021. Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926. Yamaha's number for this recall is 990152.
