1 recall across 8 model years
The Yamaha WR250X has 1 recall covering 2008-2011 model years, where the alternator's stator coil insulation can break down from heat, causing a short circuit that stops the battery from charging, drains it dead, and stalls the engine while riding.
When the stator coil shorts out, the electrical system loses its charging source entirely. The battery depletes without warning, and once it goes flat, the engine cuts out, which can leave the rider without power in traffic or on a road where an unexpected stop creates a crash risk.
