Yamaha Motor Corporation is recalling certain accessory double "T" fat handlebars with part numbers STR-5PX75-12-00 and STR-4WM75-12-00 that were manufactured between August 1, 2008 and July 31, 2009 for use on 2002-2009 XV1700PC Warrior, 1999-2003 VX1600, and 2004-2010 XV1700 Road Star motorcycles. These handlebars may have tubing that is thinner than designed in the area where the bars narrow for the switch housings and grips.
The affected handlebars could be weak enough to break during motorcycle operation, which could cause the operator to lose control and crash. Yamaha will notify owners of record, and dealers will replace the affected handlebars free of charge. Owners should contact Yamaha toll-free at 1-800-962-7926.
