NHTSA Complaint #10324756 — 2008 YAMAHA CP250

I AM AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH FUEL PUMP FAILURE AND CONSEQUENT ENGINE STALLING IN YAMAHA MOTORCYCLE MODEL WR250R AND WR250X, MODEL YEAR 2008. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN ADDRESSED BY A RECALL IN JAPAN ON THIS MODEL (AS WELL AS OTHER MODELS USING THIS PUMP ASSEMBLY). AT THIS TIME, I SEE NO COMPLAINTS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE. AS THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY ISSUE, I THINK THAT A RECALL IN THE USA SHOULD BE REQUIRED. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON AT LEAST 3 POPULAR ENTHUSIAST WEB SITES. IF YOU CAN PROVIDE A SPECIFIC E-MAIL ADDRESS FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM TO REPORT TO, I CAN POST THIS INFORMATION ON THE APPROPRIATE FORUMS. FURTHER IN THIS FORM I CHECKED MODEL "CP250" BECAUSE THE PROPER MODEL WAS NOT LISTED AS A CHOICE. *TR
