The 2020 Yamaha YZF-R3 has two recalls, the more notable being a rear reflector that can collect condensation or contaminants and lose effectiveness, making the motorcycle harder for other drivers to see at night or in low-visibility conditions.
The second recall is a labeling issue: the VIN printed on the certification label may not match the VIN stamped on the frame. This means an owner checking whether their motorcycle is subject to a recall could get a false result and miss a required repair.
