Yamaha recall: Fuel system, gasoline
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
The limited fuel supply could cause engine stalling, increasing the risk of a crash.
The 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.
