Yamaha is recalling approximately 760 of their off-road motorcycles due to a potential crash hazard. There is a defect with the gear shift assembly, which can cause it to detach from the crankshaft. This can result in the gears shifting on their own and causing the rider to crash.
The recall affects motorcycles with model numbers YZ125N2L and YZ125N2ME. Customers should also look at the VIN numbers, which are in the following range: CE34C 000301 through CE34C 004096. Yamaha is asking affected consumers to schedule a free repair with their local Yamaha dealer. This may suffice if you haven’t been injured, but a free repair won’t help you if you’ve suffered an accident on one of these vehicles. A better option is to learn about your legal rights, which may include a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer.
