Bike recall for faulty fuel lines

Owners of Yamaha Nozza scooters have been urged to bring their vehicles to Yamaha dealers following concerns over a fault that leads to petrol leaks.

 

In May, Yamaha Viet Nam recalled 83,000 Nozza scooters nationwide due to possible petrol leaks from pipes connecting the fuel tank to the engine.

However, the department has found that as many as 26,600 Nozza scooters have not yet been taken to Yamaha dealers for repairs.

The Japanese motorbike manufacturer said it would fix and replace all the pipes and their holding systems, which were not correctly assembled and positioned during manufacture.

Nozza owners can bring their bikes to Yamaha dealers for the repairs and replacement work, which would take about 30 minutes and be free of charge, the company said.

They said that frequently used motorbikes were more likely to suffer leaks.

The recall applies to models produced between August 20, 2011 and March 30, 2013, said Yamaha Viet Nam.
