Yamaha Recalls — Canada & USA – Major League Recalls

Yamaha has 93 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1975 through 2026. Across those models, 172 recall campaigns are recorded, with 75% falling into the Critical or High tiers under the severity rating system. Critical recalls alone account for 60% of all campaigns, representing conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, and other hazards that can result in serious injury or death. High recalls add another 15%, meaning only a small fraction of the lineup's recall history falls into Medium, Low, or Informational territory.

The YZF-R3 carries the most recall activity in the database at 14 campaigns, followed by the FJR1300 at 11. The YZFR3 accounts for an additional 6 recalls, and together these three models represent a notable concentration of activity within a lineup that spans nearly five decades and more than nine dozen distinct models. Medium recalls, at 16%, cover conditions that may affect performance or safety under certain circumstances, while the 15 Low-tier campaigns involve issues with lower potential for direct harm. The single Informational record rounds out a recall profile that, across motorcycles and other powersports vehicles, skews heavily toward the most consequential end of the severity spectrum.
