On certain motorcycles, there could be excessive electrical resistance in the ground wire for the Accelerator Position Sensor (APS) and Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) due to an insufficiently crimped connection. Excessive resistance can cause incorrect signals to be sent to the Engine Control Unit (ECU), which could lead to unstable engine idle speed and/or keep idle speed from falling below about 3000 rpm when the throttle is released, preventing a proper return to idle that could result in loss of control and an crash causing personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install an additional sub-lead wire to bypasses the problem area of the wire harness (which will prevent the excessive resistance concern).
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2010242.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Yamaha: 146 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
