This recall involves motorcycles with the model numbers YZ125N2L and YZ125N2ME. The model number is printed on the right and left side of the motorcycle.
The affected vehicles are in the following VIN range: ***CE34C***000301 through ***CE34C***004096. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is stamped on the frame steering head.

The gear shift assembly can detach from the crankcase, resulting in unintentional gear shifting, posing a crash hazard, the CPSC said.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled off-road motorcycles and contact their local Yamaha dealer to schedule a free repair, the CPSC said, noting that Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
