Yamaha YZF-R3 Recall 21V048: Certification label VIN may not match the vehicle

What this recall means for you

The VIN printed on the Federal Certification label on certain Yamaha motorcycles and scooters may not match the VIN stamped on the vehicle. Because the label is wrong, an owner could look up the printed VIN, fail to find their vehicle tied to a safety recall, and miss a needed repair. That could raise the risk of injury, fire or a crash.

Yamaha will notify affected owners, and authorized dealers will install a correct certification label at no charge. The recall began February 19, 2021.

If you own one of these vehicles, check that the VIN on your certification label matches the VIN stamped on your vehicle, and check your VIN for open recalls. For questions, contact Yamaha customer service at 1-800-962-7926 and reference recall number 990144.
