What's wrong?
The fuel hose in this Yamaha recall is part of the gasoline delivery system on 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 XVS95/CT and XVS1300/CT motorcycles. It connects the fuel pipes that feed the fuel injectors. Those injectors meter gasoline into the engine, so the hose and pipe joint has to stay sealed while fuel is under pressure.
On affected Yamaha motorcycles, the fuel hose was improperly molded. That shape problem can prevent a proper seal where the injector fuel pipes meet the connecting hose. When that joint does not seal correctly, the fuel system no longer has the tight connection it needs to contain gasoline at the injector feed.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a smell, a visible drip, or a change in engine feel to tell you the hose connection has failed.
Who's affected?
Scope is split between XVS95/CT model years 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012 and XVS1300/CT model year 2007, all tied to the fuel system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Over time, pressurized fuel can leak at the hose connection points. Leaking fuel creates a fire hazard, so schedule the repair soon and keep the motorcycle away from ignition sources if you suspect a leak. Repair will be free at any franchised Yamaha dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2012 Yamaha XVS95/CT or 2007 Yamaha XVS1300/CT motorcycle is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Yamaha dealer to ask whether the free fuel delivery pipe replacement is open for your VIN.
- Tell the dealer this is recall number 11V533 and that the fuel delivery pipe repair fixes the fuel-hose seal problem that can allow pressurized fuel to leak.
- Bring the recall notice if Yamaha mailed one, plus any repair paperwork tied to the fuel delivery pipe or fuel hose.
- Avoid riding if you smell fuel or see a leak. Ask the Yamaha dealer what to do before moving the motorcycle.
