2003 Yamaha XV17PCPC recalls

Recall 03V-309: Power Train

Reported Aug 26, 2003 · 29,139 vehicles affected · YAMAHA MOTOR CORPORATION, USA

Problem: In the transmission on certain motorcycles, the second/third pinion gear may be incorrectly machined which could cause abnormal wear that eventually results in a broken retainer circlip.

Risk: If the circlip breaks, the transmission could lock up, which would also cause the rear wheel to lock up. This could result in loss of control and a crash, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.

Fix: Yamaha will replace the transmission gears and shafts with new ones. Owner notification began on september 9, 2003. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact yamaha at 1-800-88-yamaha or visit their website at www.yamaha-motor.com.

My motorcycle has supposedly had a problem with its transmission that yamaha has known about since before I purchased mine. They continue to sell the model and have not fixed my bike nor are they doing it in a timely fashion.
