2012 Yamaha Super Tenere XTZ12B/BC recall: fuel system
⚠️ What's wrong
Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2012 XTZ12B/bc (Super Tenere) motorcycles, manufactured from june 01, 2011, through august 31, 2011. During the assembly process, the fuel pump o]ring may have been installed incorrectly in its groove. If the tabs located around the inner circumference of the o]ring were not seated into the groove properly during pump installation, the o]ring sealing lip could be pinched and damaged, preventing proper sealing.
💥 The risk
This could allow fuel to leak from around the fuel pump mounted under the fuel tank. Leaking fuel could result in a fire hazard.
🔧 The fix
Yamaha dealers will replace the fuel pump o-ring free of charge. The safety recall began on november 15, 2011. 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.)
