1 recall across 1 model year
The Yamaha YZFR1M has 1 recall affecting 2015 model year motorcycles built between January 19 and March 23, 2015, where a nut on the rear shock absorber's damper rod can loosen, causing the shock to lose damping ability or fall apart entirely, which can make the motorcycle difficult to control and raise the risk of a crash.
When the damper rod nut backs off, the rear suspension stops absorbing bumps and road irregularities effectively. In a worst-case scenario, the shock absorber can disassemble while riding, leaving the rear end with no damping at all.
