Thankfully though, the affected motorcycles are going to be repaired at no additional costs and can be done from any of the Yamaha authorized dealerships. Owners of the affected vehicles will be contacted individually by the company as well.

Since the corrective measures are being taken on an urgent basis, Yamaha is working closely with its dealer partners to ensure that the repairs are done in a hassle free manner in as convenient and efficient way possible.
