Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A., has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety
exists in certain 2011 XV16 (“Road Star,” “Midnight Star,” Road Star Silverado and “Road Star Silverado S”) model motorcy-cles, and in 2011 and 2012 Road Star Silverado (“Road Star,” “Road Star Limited Edition,” “Midnight Star,” and “Road Star Silverado”) motorcycles. In affected motorcycles, certain transmission components may not meet Yamaha quality-control standards, which could allow abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retaining circlip. If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a vehicle crash with injury or death.
