Yamaha YZF-R1 and YZF-R1M recalled in India over faulty gearbox issue. This recall is a part of global recall that was issued last week. The company informed in a press statement that all the 9 units sold in India which includes 7 units of YZF-R1 and 2 units of YZF-R1M will be recalled.

Ravinder Singh, Vice President, Strategy & Planning, Yamaha Motor India Sales said,
 “The YZF-R1 and YZF- R1M has been a significant milestone in the company’s history and a lot of thought and hard-work has gone into its establishment and design. No such problem has been reported from anywhere in India so far. But for the safety of our customers, we have announced this recall. We will be rectifying the error by replacing the transmission with a modified one on a free of cost basis.”

The company plans to begin the Yamaha YZF-R1 voluntary recall exercise through a factory modification campaign which will be run through the company’s authorized superbike dealership network across the country.

The customers will be contacted through mail as well as phone calls starting today, to fix an appointment to extend every support through this campaign.
