Remedy
Yamaha dealers will install an additional wire sub-lead or, if the ground joint connector has already been damaged from overheating, dealers will install a new main wire harness. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on july 8, 2011. Owners may contact yamaha at 1‑800‑962‑7926.
