The 2018 Yamaha FJR1300 has 2 recalls, the most 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 and cause the brake light to stay on continuously or the cruise control to cut out without warning, either of which raises the risk of a crash.
