The 2012 Yamaha Super Ténéré has 3 recalls, the most serious being corroded ECU wiring that can cause the engine to stay at elevated speed after the throttle is released, making the motorcycle difficult or impossible to control. There is also a fuel system concern: a fuel pump O-ring seal that was not properly installed can allow fuel to leak, which creates a fire risk if a source of ignition is nearby. On the electrical side, the headlamp connector can overheat and melt, cutting out the headlight and reducing visibility at night or in low-light conditions.
