New Delhi | January 26, 2026 — India Yamaha Motor (IYM) has announced one of its largest-ever voluntary recall campaigns in the Indian market. The recall affects a staggering 306,635 units of its popular 125cc hybrid scooter lineup. The company has identified a potential technical defect in the front brake caliper assembly that could compromise rider safety under specific conditions.
Which Models Are Affected?
The recall is focused on Yamaha’s 125cc hybrid range manufactured over a 16-month period. If you own one of the following models produced between May 2, 2024, and September 3, 2025, your vehicle may be part of this campaign:
- Yamaha Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid
- Yamaha RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid
Understanding the Technical Issue
According to the official statement from Yamaha India, the voluntary recall addresses an issue where the front brake caliper might exhibit “limited functionality” under certain operating conditions. In practical terms, this means the braking performance could become inconsistent or less effective than intended. Given that the front brake provides the majority of a scooter’s stopping power, Yamaha is treating this as a high-priority safety measure to prevent any potential mishaps.
How to Check Your Scooter’s Eligibility
Yamaha has set up a dedicated digital portal to help owners quickly verify if their specific unit is impacted. You do not need to visit a dealership just to check.
- Locate Your Chassis Number: You can find your 17-digit Chassis Number (VIN) on your vehicle’s Registration Certificate (RC) or stamped on the frame (usually under the seat or near the footboard area).
- Visit the Official Recall Page: Click this direct link to access the portal: Yamaha Voluntary Recall Campaign Page.
- Submit Your Details: On the page, select the “Scooter 125” category, enter your Chassis Number, and click submit. The system will immediately tell you if your scooter requires the part replacement.
The Rectification Process
If your vehicle is confirmed to be part of the recall batch, Yamaha will replace the entire front brake caliper assembly.
- Zero Cost to Customer: The inspection and the replacement of the part will be done free of charge.
- Authorized Centers Only: The replacement must be carried out at an authorized Yamaha dealership to ensure technical compliance and warranty validity.
