Yamaha Viking VI Recalled in Canada

Yamaha Viking VI owners in Canada have been issued a recall notice on models with steel wheels.

According to Transport Canada, the rear wheel nuts could potentially loosen over time due to an incorrect taper specification of the steel rear wheel where the wheel nuts contact the inner wheel panel.
