Yamaha Recalls 2008-2011 WR250X and 2008-2015 WR250R Motorcycles for Stator Problem

Yamaha Motor Corporation, USA (Yamaha) is recalling certain model year 2008-2011 WR250X motorcycles manufactured June 1, 2008, to June 1, 2011 and 2008-2015 WR250R motorcycles manufactured June 1, 2008, to June 1, 2015.

In the affected motorcycles, the insulation on the stator coil, a component of the alternator, may become damaged and short circuit due to insufficient heat resistance.

If the stator coil is not insulated, the motorcycle will not charge and the battery will go dead, causing the engine to stall which increases the risk of a crash.

12,721 units are affected.
