What NHTSA recorded

Yamaha is recalling certain model year 2012 xtz12b/bc (super tenere) motorcycles, manufactured from june 01, 2011, through august 31, 2011. During the assembly process, the fuel pump o]ring may have been installed incorrectly in its groove. If the tabs located around the inner circumference of the o]ring were not seated into the groove properly during pump installation, the o]ring sealing lip could be pinched and damaged, preventing proper sealing.
