YAMAHA YW125 2009
SUMMARY:
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.

REMEDY:
Yamaha will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel pump with a
newly designed fuel pump. The recall is expected to begin February 19,
2013. Owners contact Yamaha at 1-800-962-7926.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY
