The 2017 Yamaha YZFR3 has 2 recalls, the most serious being a radiator hose that can crack and leak coolant onto the rear tire, causing the tire to lose grip and the rider to lose control.
The second recall is a compliance issue: certain units intended for the US market were built with a Canadian certification label, meaning the label's VIN may not match the stamped VIN on the frame, which can make it difficult to confirm whether a given motorcycle is covered by a safety recall.
