I received a letter today from Yamaha regarding a recall of F4 ~ F70 Outboard Motors. I have not seen the official notice on Yamaha's website but when it become available I will post a link.
"The reason for the recall: In affected outboards, an O-ring in the NOA (North America) fuel connectors, NOA fuel hose assemblies, and fuel tanks with the NOA style connectors, manufactured beginning April 1,2011, may develop a cut or tear. As a result, the fuel may leak from the fuel connector, either while the outboard is being run or during storage, increasing the risk of fire."
If you believe your outboard may be one of the affected, contact your nearest Yamaha dealer or call 1-866-894-1626.
