CERTAIN 2021 MODEL MTT9GTM (TRACER 900 GT) MOTORCYCLES
FACTORY MODIFICATION CAMPAIGN – Incorrect Vehicle Certification Label
INTRODUCTION
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2021 model MTT9GTM (Tracer 900 GT) motorcycles that fail to conform to the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, “Certification.” In affected vehicles, the Vehicle Certification Label does not match the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) stamped into the frame.
To correct this defect, Yamaha is initiating a Factory Modification Campaign. Affected units must have the incorrect label removed and replaced with a correct certification label. Without the correct VIN information, owners may be unaware of important safety recalls, increasing the risk of injury, fire, or crash.
IMPORTANT:
The corrected Certification Label is matched to each unit’s Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Contact your Motorsports Technical Advisor (MTA) to get the specific label for the unit you are modifying. See the Service Procedures section in this bulletin for more information.
Yamaha is notifying all registered owners of affected vehicles by mail. A copy of our letter is included in this bulletin. The customer should take this letter along with the affected motorcycle to an authorized Yamaha dealer for modification.
If your dealership was invoiced for one or more affected units, a computer report listing all affected vehicles invoiced to your dealership is included with a mailed copy of this bulletin. Use the list to help ensure all vehicles are modified. All sold vehicles that have been registered with Yamaha will show the customer’s name and address.
Your dealership must notify the owner of any affected motorcycle that was actually sold but listed as “unsold” in the report. You must modify all affected vehicles in your inventory as well as all customer-owned vehicles brought to you for this service. If you purchase an affected vehicle from another dealer, check to see if the procedures in this bulletin have already been performed before you sell the motorcycle.
Motorcycles that are affected should not be sold until they modified. It is a violation of Yamaha policy for your dealership to deliver any affected motorcycle to customers until the procedures in this bulletin are performed.
When the modification on each motorcycle is performed, follow the Warranty Information section of this bulletin to receive reimbursement. Be sure to use the Factory Modification Campaign procedures in Chapter 7 of the Warranty and Y.E.S. Handbook (LIT-11760-00-21).
DEALER ACTION SUMMARY
Unsold & Sold Units:
Use YDS Unit Status to check to be sure the unit is affected and that it is not already modified. If the unit is affected, check all 17 digits of the VIN printed on the Vehicle Certification Label to make sure it does not match the equivalent digits on the stamped VIN located on the frame. If the digits do not match, take a photograph showing the error. Replace the Vehicle Certification Label as instructed in this bulletin.
Parts:
Request the correct Vehicle Certification Label from your MTA using a YDS Online Tech Request or Live Chat and attach the photo. The MTA will send you the correct label.
Warranty:
Factory Modification Campaign. See the Warranty Information section of this bulletin. This modification applies to all affected units regardless of ownership or warranty status.
Notify Customers:
Yes, you must immediately contact any customer whose motorcycle shows as unregistered on the enclosed report. Yamaha has sent letters to customers whose motorcycles were registered with Yamaha as of 11/11/2021.

Check Unit Status on YDS to make sure the Primary ID (PID) is listed below and is eligible for this repair. The affected units for this issue are:
Model Year | Model | Model Code | Primary ID | ||
Prefix | Serial Numbers | ||||
2021 | MTT9GTM | BAP5 | RN74E | 0000301

0000307 0000309 |
IMPORTANT: Affected Primary IDs may not be consecutive. Always check YDS Unit Status before starting any repair.
SERVICE PROCEDURES
- Confirm that the unit is within the affected range and that it has not been modified by checking Unit Status on YDS (Service > Unit Status).
- Remove the bolt at the front of the right side cowling.
NOTICE:
Be sure to use protective covers to protect the fuel tank, fenders, and other components from scratching or other damage.
- Remove the right side cover by pulling the three projections from the grommets.
- Take a photo like the one depicted on page 1 of this bulletin that shows the mismatch in digits between the frame VIN and the one on the Vehicle Certification Label. Request the correct label from your MTA using a YDS Online Tech Request or Live Chat and attach the photo. The MTA will send you the correct label. After receiving the label, make sure the digits of the VIN printed on the Vehicle Certification Label match the equivalent digits on the stamped VIN located on the frame.
IMPORTANT: Wait until you are ready to install the label before requesting it; it is a controlled label and must not be misplaced.
- Use tape to mark the mounting location of the original Vehicle Certification Label.
- Gently peel the Vehicle Certification Label from the frame. Use a heat gun to ease the removal process. Once the incorrect label has been removed, please destroy it before throwing it away. Clean any remaining adhesive with soap and water or a detergent-based cleaner. Wipe the area using a dry rag.
NOTICE:
The surface must be completely clean and dry before installing the new label. If necessary, Brake and Contact Cleaner can be used to clean the surface. Brake and Contact Cleaner may instantly damage paint and some plastics; protect the area around the label and spray carefully.
- Affix the new Vehicle Certification Label, using the edge of the tape previously applied as a guide to mark the proper mounting location. Remove the locating tape when finished.
- Reinstall the side cowling.
IDENTIFICATION PROCEDURE
After completing the procedure, make sure to properly record and submit the warranty claim for this campaign to ensure correct reimbursement and to update the unit’s repair history in Yamaha’s database.

What Yamaha and your dealer will do:
To correct this defect, your authorized Yamaha dealer will inspect the Vehicle Certification Label on your vehicle and replace it with one that matches.

There will be no charge to you for this procedure.
What you should do now:
Please call your Yamaha dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure performed. At that same time, you can find out how long they expect to keep your motorcycle for this service. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your motorcycle.
You should have this modification done by your dealer as soon as possible to avoid potential problems with vehicle registration or safety recalls in the future.

The reason for this recall: In affected vehicles, the Vehicle Certification Label shows a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that does not match the VIN stamped into the frame as required by federal motor vehicle regulations, increasing the risk that a vehicle will not be remedied in a safety recall and the risk of injury, fire, or crash. What Yamaha and your dealer will do: To correct this defect, your authorized Yamaha dealer will inspect the Vehicle Certification Label on your vehicle and replace it with one that matches.

There will be no charge to you for this procedure. What you should do now: Please call your Yamaha dealer to make a service appointment to have this procedure performed. At that same time, you can find out how long they expect to keep your motorcycle for this service. Remember to take this letter with you when you take in your motorcycle. You should have this modification done by your dealer as soon as possible to avoid potential problems with vehicle registration or safety recalls in the future.
