Recall notice: Yamaha VMAX
Idle may become suspended due to a "defective ground connection".Yamaha Motor Australia has issued a recall notice on its 1700cc VMAX power cruiser, within the VIN Range: RP214-0000006 to RP214-0000115.
The defect is described as follows:
"The circuit resistance of the Accelorator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) in the wire harness may increase due to a defective ground connection between APS/TPS and ECU. Under this condition, incorrect electrical signals may be transmitted to the Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and resulting in unstable engine idle speed and/or display malfunction codes (50 and/or 60)."
In the worst case scenario, the engine idle speed may become suspended around 3000rpm while riding, even if the throttle twist grip is released.
About 90 units are affected by the recall.
Owners should contact their authorised Yamaha dealer to have the unit remedied free of charge.
