The 2006 Yamaha YZF-R6 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving air filter mounting screws that can loosen and fall into the throttle valve, preventing the rider from closing the throttle and potentially causing a crash.
The remaining two recalls both concern the front side reflectors, which were mounted too low to meet required lighting standards. A reflector at the wrong height makes the motorcycle harder for other drivers to see, raising the risk of a collision.
