2006 YAMAHA MT-01Transport Canada Recall #2007298
Defect
On certain motorcycles, the suspension arm may develop cracks from the combined effects of a press-fit bearing and exposure to corrosive agents (such as snow melting agents). Should these cracks become severe, the rear suspension could collapse, which could result in reduced vehicle control, and a crash causing injury or death.
Safety Risk
No risk description available.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the suspension arm assembly with one that has redesigned pivot points with new hardware more resistant to corrosion.
