ENGINE
- The defect
- Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Yamaha XC155 scooters. The primary sheave nut may loosen and fall off.
- What it can cause
- A missing primary sheave nut may cause a stall, without the ability to restart the engine, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Owners are advised not to ride their scooter until the remedy has been preformed. Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the primary retaining nut and washer with one of a new design, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 28, 2021. Owners may contact Yamaha's customer service at 1-800-962-7926. Yamaha's number for this recall is 990145.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 4,262 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 73% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2015 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 6 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Yamaha vehicles have been recalled over the engine once before this, most recently in April 2020 as 20V212000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 20V277000 (engine and engine cooling).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA with NHTSA on April 9, 2021 as campaign 21V251000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
