YAMAHA VMAX (VMX17) Recalls

The Yamaha VMAX (VMX17) has 2 recalls, both affecting 2009 models, with the most serious being an engine oil pressure fault where the oil pump can fail and stop circulating oil, causing severe internal engine damage and a potential stall while riding. The second recall covers the wiring for the throttle and accelerator position sensors, where a poorly crimped ground connection can create excessive electrical resistance, which can disrupt the signals those sensors send and affect throttle response.
