Yamaha AUGUR has a safety crisis! Headlight failure means the entire set does not light up at night. More than 15,000 units are recalled

Yamaha recalls more than 15,000 AUGUR units in Taiwan.

Defects in headlight control materials will seriously affect driving safety.

Due to defects in the headlight control material, resulting in abnormality and inability to operate the headlights, which seriously affects driving safety, Yamaha will recall some AUGUR in Taiwan, with more than 15,000 units affected.

Taiwan Yamaha issued a recall. Due to the improper selection of filler materials for the headlight control unit assembly, under long-term use in humid environments, internal components may have poor conduction and abnormality, causing the headlights to not light up. In the most serious case, driving at night will affect driving vision and raise driving safety concerns. A total of 15,280 units of AUGUR will be recalled from December 2022 to June 2026.

Taiwan Yamaha will replace the headlight control unit assembly with countermeasures. The operation will take about one hour, and will also notify car owners by registered letter.
