2004 YAMAHA FZS600 Recall

Campaign:

06V371000 on 09/27/2006

Component:

Vehicle speed control

Manufactured:

10/31/2002 - 03/30/2005

Affected:

39,757

Defect:

On certain motorcycles, an improperly designed throttle position sensor could cause an intermittently unstable idle when the engine is at idling speed when the motorcycle is stopped or during low-speed operations. the engine could stall as a result.

Consequence:

If the engine stalls after the operator disengages the clutch in a low gear while riding, the rear tire might slip momentarily if the operator abruptly re-engages the clutch. this could result in a crash with injury or death.

Correction:

Dealers will replace the throttle position sensor free of charge. the recall began on october 16, 2006. owners may contact yamaha at 1-888-88-yamaha.

Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.
