990156 – Grip May Break and Restrict Throttle Control – 2021 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT (MTT9GT) Motorcycles

SEOCONTENT-START

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE This notice applies to your motorcycle or scooter, VIN xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx March 17, 2022 990156 Dear Yamaha Owner: Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021 model MTT9GTM/MC (Tracer 9 GT) motorcycles. Our records indicate that you own the affected vehicle shown above. The reason for this recall: In affected motorcycles, if the throttle grip is used to pull up a motorcycle that has fallen on its side, the throttle grip tube may break at the guide due to the excessive lateral pulling force applied to it because of an improperly designed grip end. If the guide is broken, the broken portion could restrict throttle movement during operation, which could result in loss of control and a crash with severe injury or death. What Yamaha and your dealer will do: Your authorized Yamaha dealer will inspect the throttle grip tube to see if it is broken. If it is not broken, they will replace the grip end with a new one that is properly designed. If the throttle grip tube is broken, they will replace the entire right throttle grip/handlebar switch with grip warmer before installing the new grip end. The grip end replacement takes approximately 20 minutes to perform. If the throttle tube is broken, it will take approximately an hour and 20 minutes to replace the throttle grip/handlebar switch and the grip end. In either case, your dealer may need to have your motorcycle longer than the time stated, depending upon scheduling. There will be no charge to you for either procedure. What you should do now: Please call your Yamaha dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure performed. At that same time, you can find out how long they expect to keep your vehicle for this service. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your vehicle. You should not operate your affected motorcycle, shown above, other than to take it to a dealer, until this inspection and modification is performed. If your motorcycle ever fell over and was lifted using the handlebar, contact your dealer or Yamaha if you need assistance in having it towed or otherwise transported to your service appointment. If you are unable to return to the Yamaha dealer who sold you the vehicle, this service will be performed by any authorized Yamaha Motorcycle dealer. For the name of a dealer near you, call 1-800-88-YAMAHA or visit the Yamaha web site at www.yamaha-motor.com. If you have had this repair performed before you received this letter, you may be entitled to receive reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy of the problem associated with this repair. For more information, contact Yamaha Customer Relations at 1-800-962-7926. Be aware that certain 2021 model Tracer 9 GT motorcycles are also affected by a Safety Recall regarding the ECU. If yours is affected, you will get a second letter from Yamaha. Have your dealer confirm if your motorcycle is affected by both recalls and perform them at the same time for your convenience. Federal regulations require that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within 10 days. If you need help: If, after contacting your dealership, you have questions or concerns which the dealership is unable to answer, please write to: Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. Customer Relations Department P.O. Box 6555 Cypress, CA 90630 Or call: 1-800-962-7926 If, after contacting Yamaha Customer Relations, you are still not satisfied that we have done our best to remedy the situation without charge and within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE., Washington, DC 20590; or call the Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153); or go to http: //www.safercar.gov.

CERTAIN ORCYCLES FACTORY Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021 model MTT9GTM/MC (Tracer 9 GT) motorcycles. In affected motorcycles, if the throttle grip is used to pull up a motorcycle that has fallen on its side, the throttle grip tube may break at the guide due to the excessive lateral pulling force applied to it because of an improperly designed grip end. If the guide is broken, the broken portion could restrict throttle movement during operation, which could result in loss of control and a crash with severe injury or death. To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Affected units must have the grip end replaced. If the throttle grip tube is already broken, it must be replaced using a grip warmer kit that includes a new throttle grip tube before installing the new grip end. Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of affected motorcycles by mail. A copy of our letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take this letter along with the affecte r modification. If your dealership was invoiced for one or more affected units, a computer report listing all affected motorcycles invoiced to your dealership is included with a mailed copy of this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all motorcycles are modified. All sold motorcycles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer’s name and address. Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but listed as “unsold” in the report. You must modify all affected motorcycles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned motorcycles brought to you for this service. Any affected motorcycle that you purchase from Yamaha in the future may also require modification. If you purchase a motorcycle from another dealer or Yamaha, check to see if the procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle. Motorcycles that are affected should not be operated until they are modified. It is a violation of Yamaha policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycle to customers until the procedures in this bulletin are performed. NOTE: Check to see if the unit you are modifying is also affected by the Factory Modification Campaign for the ECU reprogramming announced in Technical Bulletin M2022-006R. Perform both procedures at the same time for customer convenience and shop efficiency. POSSIBLE BREAKAGE POINT Page 1 of 13 When the modification on each motorcycle is performed, follow the Warranty Information section of this bulletin to receive reimbursement. Be sure to use the Factory Modification Campaign procedures in Chapter 7 of the Warranty and Y.E.S. Handbook (LIT-11760-00-21). Unsold & Sold Units: Use YDS Unit Status to check to be sure the unit is affected and that it is not already modified; confirm by checking the motorcycle according to the Identification Procedure section of this bulletin. If the unit is affected and unmodified: • Check to see if the throttle tube guide is broken. • If the guide is not broken, replace the grip end with the new type. • If the throttle tube guide is broken, replace the entire grip warmer switch assembly, and then install the new grip end. Parts: Yes. Order a new end grip kit for each affected unit. If the throttle grip is damaged, also order the grip warmer kit. See the Parts Information section of this bulletin for more information. Warranty: Factory Modification Campaign. See the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. This modification applies to all affected units regardless of ownership or warranty status. Notify Customers: Yes, you must immediately contact any customer whose Tracer 9 GT shows as unregistered on the report enclosed with the mailed copy of this bulletin.
