2009 Yamaha Redundant Zuma recalls

Recall 13V-035: Fuel System, Gasoline

Reported Feb 4, 2013 · 8,700 vehicles affected · YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA

Problem: Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2009 YW125 (Zuma 125) scooters manufactured between July 2008 and April 2009 due to possible improper clearances in the internal fuel pump components. These improper clearances may cause an inadequate supply of fuel.

Risk: The limited fuel supply could cause engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump with a newly designed fuel pump. The recall began on February 27, 2013. Owners contact Yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.

Fuel/Propulsion System · at 2,632 miles · reported Jun 27, 2012
I drove the yw125 about 5 miles on a 90 degree day and parked at a store. I came out with my wife as we both have zuma 125s and hers started and mine didn't. My normal fuel pump sound was not happening so I knew it was not working. I let it st for 40 minutes in the shade and it started back up. I got it home and shut it off. I turned the key on and the pump took 2 seconds to start running. I tested my wife's and her pump starts as soon as you turn the key. Again hers is the exact same zuma 125 same year. It appears heat is a factor on my fuel pump.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 4,010 miles · reported Apr 16, 2012
When it is hot out, the fuel pump stops working. This happens especially when it has been sitting outside in the sun. It will initially start and then, when the bike gets warmed up, it just shuts off. Then, when you try to start it, you do not hear the pump pressurize and it will not start for anywhere from an hour to several hours.
Fuel System, Gasoline · at 341 miles · reported Sep 7, 2011
After a short ride the scooter will not start again, did notice that fuel pump will not work when turned on. There is only 340 miles on this vehicle. Left stranded on a hot day.
