Concern

Possible failure of primary drive gear back plate

Defect, as DVSA words it

Yamaha Motor Co. have identified a potential defect with the back plate of the primary drive gear which may cause it to fail under certain conditions of use. In exceptional circumstances this may cause the engine to lock.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected machines and replace the primary drive gear with a quality assured unit.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because DVSA lists none for this recall. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
