Recall on FJR1300A/AE Motorcycles for Ignition Switch Overheating

Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in all 2006 through 2008 and certain 2009 FJR1300A and AE model motorcycles. The main ignition switch’s wire connection could overheat due to electrical resistance, becoming hot enough to melt the solder connecting the wire to the main switch. The wire could come off the switch if the solder melts, preventing the electrical system from functioning. If this occurs while the motorcycle is being ridden, the engine would stall and be impossible to restart which could result in an accident with injury or death.

To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Affected motorcycles must have the main switch replaced with a new one designed to prevent overheating.

Yamaha will notify all registered owners of affected units by first class mail and will send Technical Bulletin M2009-002R, dated January 29, 2009, to all authorized Yamaha Motorcycle dealers with the necessary information.
