YAMAHA MWD300 (Tricity) (2020–2021)
What the hazard is
A loss of vehicle control increases the risk of an accident causing serious injuries to the rider and/or passenger or other road users.
What to do
Consumers are requested to contact their local Yamaha Dealer to set up an appointment to have the stand assist deactivation recall carried out free of charge. Customers must also ensure that the stand assist indicator light on the dash is not lit up when using the motorcycle. If the light is illuminated, this indicates the stand assist is active.
Defect
The ‘Stand Assist’ system which keeps the bike upright when stopped may not release immediately after deactivation as intended. This may prevent the rider from steering, resulting in a loss of vehicle control.
