Yamaha Tracer 9 Gt Recalls

The Yamaha Tracer 9 GT has 5 recalls covering the 2021 and 2022 model years, with the most serious being a throttle position sensor defect where incorrect engine computer programming causes the sensor's internal brushes to wear excessively, leading to unstable idling or a sudden engine stall that can cause loss of control.

The 2022 model year is affected by the throttle position sensor issue described above. On 2021 models, there are three related engine management concerns. A software problem can damage the throttle position sensor, leading to an unstable idle, hesitation, or stall; an earlier software update did not fully resolve this issue, and vehicles that received that prior repair also require the replacement remedy. Separately on 2021 models, incorrect engine computer programming can cause the engine to stall during downshifting when the clutch lever is not fully pulled in, or when the throttle is opened from idle; the same programming fault can also suppress the engine warning light when a component fails, or trigger it falsely while limiting throttle response. There is also a physical throttle concern on 2021 models where the throttle grip tube can crack if pulled with excessive force, causing the throttle to bind or stick mid-ride.
