The 2017 Yamaha FJR1300 has two recalls, the more serious being a transmission second gear that can crack and break under hard acceleration, locking the transmission and rear wheel and causing sudden loss of control.
The second recall involves the front brake light switch, which can fail due to internal corrosion. When it does, the brake light may stay on continuously, reducing the rear warning signal to other drivers, or the cruise control can cut out without warning at speed.
