Filed Feb 15, 2000NC
HYDRAULIC UNIT OF THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED ON THE REAR PORTION, CAUSING REAR BRAKES TO LOCK ANYTIME REAR BRAKES WERE FULLY APPLIED. DEALER NOTED CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM AND DISCUSSED WITH YAMAHA CUSTOMER SERVICE WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM. THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT HAD TO BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL OTHERS WITH SAME VEHICLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE ON THE ABS WITH THE SAME COMPONENT. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE UNIT APPEARED CORRODED BEFORE REPLACEMENT. THE HYDRAULIC UNIT WAS REPLACED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY PLAN PURCHASED FROM YAMAHA BY MYSELF. THE HYDRAULIC UNIT REPLACEMENT IS IDENTICAL TO THE ORIGINAL PART AND COULD OVER TIME FAIL AS THE PREVIOUS ONE HAS. THE DEALER LISTED HAS PERFORMED ALL SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE ON THE VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED AS DESCRIBED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *AK

THERE IS A VERY HIGH RATE OF FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT. REPLACEMENT OF THE HYDRAULIC UNIT IS THE ONLY COURSE OF ACTION OFFERED BY YAMAHA, & IF NOT WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD, IS A COST PROHIBITIVE $2000 APPROX. I REPAIRED THE HU MYSELF BY CLEANING & POLISHING THE EXISTING PARTS. I WOULD LIKE TO AT LEAST HAVE ACCESS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A CHRONIC PROBLEM. *AK

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
