Yamaha YZF-R6 in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Yamaha YZF-R6 is named on 2 American notices and 4 British. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain motorcycles, the front side reflector height does not meet Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. As such, the visibility of the motorcycle will be decreased, possibly increasing the risk of a crash. Correction: Dealers will replace both right and left front reflector brackets with updated versions that raise the reflector's center point to a position within the range specified by the Regulation.
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 2010280.

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.
