2016 YAMAHA YZFR3F/G Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2016 Yamaha YZF-R3 has 2 recalls, both rated at the same severity level and both capable of causing a sudden loss of vehicle control that raises the risk of a crash. The first involves the oil pump, which may fail to maintain proper oil pressure, causing the drive gear to fail and the engine to seize. If the engine seizes while riding, the rear wheel can lock up without warning. The second affects the clutch pressure plate bearing, which can break under load and prevent the clutch from disengaging. When the clutch sticks engaged, the rider loses the ability to separate the engine from the transmission, making it difficult to slow or stop the motorcycle normally.
