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 .
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 233 vehicles this is a small campaign: 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Yamaha vehicles have been recalled over the engine 2 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V251000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
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 October 15, 2021 as campaign 21V806000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
