Recall 25V-248: Vehicle Speed Control, Engine and Engine Cooling

Reported Apr 16, 2025 · 216 vehicles affected · Pure Sports Distributing Inc.

Problem: Pure Sports Distributing Inc. (Yamaha of Hawaii) is recalling certain 2022 MT-09 Tracer GT, 2021-2025 MT-09 SP, 2021-2025 MT-09, 2022-2023 and 2025 MT-10 SP, 2022-2024 MT-10 and 2022-2024 XSR900 motorcycles. The brushes inside the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) may slide excessively due to improper ECU programming, possibly causing unstable idling or an engine stall.

Risk: Unstable idling or an engine stall can lead to loss of control of the motorcycle, increasing the risk of an injury or crash.

Fix: Dealers will reprogram the engine control unit (ECU) software and replace the TPS, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 6, 2025. Owners may contact Yamaha of Hawaii customer service at 1-808-498-8248.

Service Brakes · reported Apr 18, 2023
The front brake lever brake light switch is supposed to illuminate the brake light just before braking is applied (according to manufacturer’s manual). I realized when I was sitting on the motorcycle in my driveway, with the front brake holding the motorcycle, that the brake light wasn’t illuminated. As I began to test it I realized I was able to have the bike come to a complete stop without the brake light illuminating when using only the front brake lever.
