On certain motorcycles, prolonged high-RPM operation could cause the air induction hose to melt, resulting in hot exhaust gases being directed at the fuel injection sub-wiring harness, which could melt the insulation and cause the wiring to short. If this were to occur, the fuel injection system would malfunction, which could result in an engine stall and could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the air induction hose, air induction pipe and air induction cut-off valve with ones that meet the new specifications.
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 2014540.

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 591 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2014.
