Headlight Recall

[relz]

I was browsing the Yamaha International sites (looking for someone to contact regarding the ecu remap), and reached the Yamaha Motors Japan site.

My Japanese isn't too great, but thanks to Google Translate it seems that there is a new recall regarding the headlight wiring. I actually read someone complain about this, the other day, in one of the forums.... don't remember where.

Part of the GoogleTranslated page:

Love the fact his 'Jewels are humbled'. That's what I call commitment to the job!

Hmm, one of my wires snapped, just before setting of to Th'Alps, crimped a new on.

Better get in touch with dealer then, to see if others is affected, as my VIN starts with ARN291xxx and not in this range

I had a problem with the wire for my full beam breaking off. I fixed it myself. But there is definitely not enough slack on the rest of the wires that go into the back of the headlight bulb. Will be looking to get this recall done if it is on offer

I extended the wiring to fit a LED lamp so it's not a problem for me.I will probably go back to halogen.
