What this recall means for you
On certain 2015 scooters built between September 2014 and October 2015, the speed sensor lead wire may not be clamped securely enough. Over time the wire can fatigue and break.
If the speed sensor wire breaks, the speedometer will stop working. Without a speed reading, you may not notice how fast you are going, which increases the risk of a crash.
Yamaha will notify affected owners. Dealers will replace the speed sensor assembly free of charge. You can contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926 and reference recall number 990111. You should also check your VIN for open recalls.
