Yamaha MT-09 Recall 25V248: Engine May Stall or Idle Unstably, Risking Loss of Control

NHTSA campaign 25V248, reported April 16, 2025, 216 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

The throttle position sensor (TPS) inside the motorcycle's throttle body may have brushes that slide excessively because of improper engine control unit (ECU) programming. This can cause unstable idling or the engine to stall.

An unexpected stall or erratic idle can cause the rider to lose control of the motorcycle, which raises the risk of injury or a crash.

Authorized dealers will reprogram the ECU software and replace the throttle position sensor at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2025. To check whether your motorcycle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact Yamaha of Hawaii customer service at 1-808-498-8248.
