Oh, I don't know.
Why would Yamaha be any different than Honda, who didn't recall the UK police ST1300s that led to the death of a couple of British motor officers and cost them their market for police bikes in Europe.
As to the problem with overheating - nothing leads me to believe that Yamaha puts significantly fewer amps through the ignition switch of one national version of the bike than another - they don't have a main relay in the circuit for the fuel pump, injectors or other non-delayed electical elements - a relay would have made sense, but they 'cheaped out.
I strongly suspect that every FJR of the Gen-II variant potentialy will exhibit the problem, but with something like 100 units sold in Australia each year there simply aren't likely enough of them to fail to cause the local Yamaha organisation to issue a recall - remember that Yamaha didn't do this voluntarily - the NHTSA rules in the US forced them to - and the rule in Canada obliges them to follow suit if the same design is effected here.
That NHTSA recall was initiated by members of this board - if you think you are immune, then great - if you'd prefer to be safe, you should contact Yamaha Australia (or if you are in Europe, your local Yamaha organisation) and ask them how the ignition switch design of your machine differs from that of the recalled US & Canadian ones and why yours hasn't been recalled if the design is similar (which I would wager that it is) - and get the answer in writing.
As to the ECU recall, I do remember that at least one board member had HIS ECU changed at Yamaha expense. Given the lack of product and the sparse nature of tall mountains in Australia (nothing like the Rockies there if memory serves) it just may be that the ECU issue doesn't manifest itself very often.
