Exterior lighting:brake lights:switch
Problem: Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2011 fjr1300 motorcycles manufactured from january 2011 through april 2011. The brake light may not illuminate when the front brake lever is applied because the activating mechanism in the front brake switch can bind.
Risk: When the motorcycle operator applies only the front brake, the brake light may not come on to alert other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Yamaha dealers will install a new front brake switch free of charge. The safety recall began on july 22, 2011. Owners may contact yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.
