The 2019 Yamaha YZF-R3 has 3 recalls, all involving the front braking system, where defects can reduce stopping power and raise the risk of a crash.
Two of the recalls involve brake fluid leaks: the front brake hose can chafe against the horn lead wire as the handlebars turn, and a loose brake hose holder can damage the hose and its protective cover, either of which can cause fluid to escape and weaken braking force. The third recall involves the front brake lever itself, which can crack and break under a firm grip, leaving the rider with reduced or no front brake response.
