⚠️ What's wrong
On certain motorcycles, the mounting hardware holding the passenger seat to the fender could loosen due to the passenger's weight shifting on the seat.

If the mounting hardware becomes loose enough to fall off, the passenger seat CAN fall off the rear fender. A passenger on the motorcycle could lose balance and fall, causing serious injury or death.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the passenger seat's mounting hardware free of charge. The recall began on march 4, 2005. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-227-5963.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
