⚠️ What's wrong
Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2006 through 2010 YZF-R6 motorcycles manufactured from august 2005 through march 2010. The motorcycle's front side reflector was not placed at the proper height which fails to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
💥 The risk
Visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash.

Yamaha will notify owners and dealers will repair the motorcycles free of charge. The safety recall began on august 12, 2010. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
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.)
