Yamaha Motor Corporation is recalling 2,715 of its 2018-2022 XMAX scooters because a camshaft retainer bolt may loosen over time. If this bolt loosens, it can cause the engine to stall unexpectedly while the scooter is being ridden. To fix this issue, Yamaha dealers will install a new camshaft plate kit at no cost to the owner.
A loose camshaft bolt can result in a sudden engine stall, which may cause the rider to lose control of the scooter. This significantly increases the risk of a crash or injury. Owners are advised not to ride their scooters until the necessary recall repair has been completed.
You have 2 options:
Free installation of a new camshaft plate kit.
Stop-ride advisory.
Yamaha recall number 990184; certain 2018-2022 models.
