- 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.

Checking your own motorcycle
A recall applies to a range of VINs, not to every 2011 Yamaha Fjr1300 built. To confirm whether yours is affected, find the 17-character VIN, stamped on the steering head, just behind the headlight, and on the frame label, and enter it in NHTSA's official lookup.
Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the motorcycle is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
