1 recall across 1 model year
The Yamaha XS500 has 1 recall affecting the 1976 model year, where the rear brake pedal's pinch bolts are positioned in a way that allows them to loosen and let the pedal detach entirely, leaving the rider with no rear braking. With the pedal gone, the rider loses the ability to apply the rear brake, which reduces overall stopping ability and raises the risk of a crash, particularly in situations requiring hard braking.
