Recall 25V248 covers 216 2021-2025 Yamaha motorcycles with TPS and ECU defects tied to unstable idling or engine stall. Free repair at franchised Yamaha dealers.
Yamaha is recalling 216 2021-2025 XSR900, MT-09, MT-09 Sp, MT10, MT10 Sp, and Tracer 9 GT motorcycles because improper ECU programming lets throttle position sensor brushes slide too far, which can cause unstable idling or an engine stall. A stall can lead to loss of control and raise the risk of injury or a crash; Yamaha dealers will complete the free repair.

What's wrong?
The throttle position sensor, or TPS, on affected 2021-2025 Yamaha motorcycles reads how far the throttle is opened. It sends that position signal to the engine control unit, the computer that manages fueling and engine response. The engine depends on that signal to hold a steady idle and respond predictably when the rider opens or closes the throttle.
In this recall, improper engine control unit programming lets the small brushes inside the TPS slide more than designed. That extra movement wears the sensor contact area and creates abrasion particles. As those particles collect on the contact points, the signal from the TPS can become unstable, leading to rough or unstable idling and an engine stall while the motorcycle is being ridden.
The warning sign is a malfunction indicator light with a P2135 fault code. If that light appears, the TPS signal has already gone outside its expected range.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific motorcycle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Unstable idling or an engine stall can cause loss of motorcycle control, increasing the risk of injury or a crash. If the malfunction indicator light comes on with a P2135 fault code, arrange service promptly and ride cautiously until the dealer has completed the repair. Repair is free at any franchised Yamaha dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2021-2025 Yamaha XSR900, MT-09 Sp, MT10, MT-09, MT10 Sp, or Tracer 9 GT is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Yamaha dealer to schedule the free ECU software reprogramming and TPS replacement that fixes unstable idling or engine-stall risk.
- Bring the recall notice if Yamaha has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 25V248 when you call.
- Ride carefully until the repair is complete. Pull over if the idle becomes unstable or the engine stalls.
- Call Yamaha customer service at 1-808-498-8248 with questions about the repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Yamaha technician reprograms the engine control unit software and replaces the Throttle Position Sensor. The repair is available, and the ECU update and TPS replacement are free under the recall. The software update addresses the programming that lets the TPS brushes slide excessively, which is tied to unstable idling or an engine stall. A service visit is still needed because the repair includes both software work and a sensor replacement.
