Yamaha YZF-R3: Brakes

Affects Yamaha YZF-R3 · 2019 — about 440 vehicles.

The hazard

Issue: On certain motorcycles, the wiring for the horn may be routed incorrectly. As a result, the brake hose could be damaged by contact with the wiring. This could cause a brake fluid leak and result in reduced brake performance. Safety Risk: Reduced brake performance can cause a loss of control and create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Yamaha will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your motorcycle to a dealer to re-route the wiring for the horn away from the brake hose. Yamaha advises you not to drive your motorcycle until the recall repairs have been completed.
