- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 15V176000

## What is wrong

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA \(Yamaha\) is recalling certain model year 2015 FJ\-09 \(FJ09F/FC\), FZ\-09 \(FZ09F/FC\), FZ6R \(FZ6RF/FC\), Super Tenere \(XTZ12F/FC\), Super Tenere ES \(XTZ12EF/EFC\), and R6 \(YZF\-R6\) motorcycles manufactured September 1, 2014, to November 17, 2014.  The affected motorcycles may have an incorrectly manufactured shift cam segment stopper, having a sharp edge on the inside of the bend instead of a smooth radius.  As a result, the stopper can crack and possibly fracture at this sharp edge.


## What can happen

If the stopper fractures, the transmission may not shift properly, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the shift shaft assembly with a new one, free of charge. The recall began on April 6, 2015.  Owners may contact Yamaha customer service at 1\-800\-962\-7926.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
