The 2017 Yamaha YZF-R3 has two recalls, the more notable being a rear reflector that can collect condensation or contaminants on its lens, reducing how visible the motorcycle is to traffic approaching from behind.
The second recall is a compliance matter: certain units were fitted with US-specification certification labels instead of the Canadian-specification labels during manufacturing. There is no physical safety defect tied to the labeling issue.
