Yamaha Top Box Recall in Canada?

[NSFJR]

Have any Canadians seen anything from sleepy old Yamaha Canada on this topic??? The two dealers I spoke with knew nothing.

I have had a top box for 3 years now, no problems, but then again the box itself only has about 5000 miles of use.

Have seen nothing about the recall in Canada either.

Received my recall notice today stating if I had a Yamaha top box read on, & if not just ignore their letter.....now I'm really glad I passed on the Yamaha top box & bought a Givi 52 instead :yahoo: .....

Cancel my last, I received a letter.

It's a simple fix. I will get the dealer to order the parts and do it myself.

To answer my own question, my recall notice made it to Nova Scotia today. I contacted my selling dealer and the parts are/will be ordered. Yamaha Canada was not asleep at all on this topic, only dozing. I sure got a giggle out of the "don't use the top box and the saddle bags together spiel"; what a crock!!!

To further answer my own question, I had the update done today by my selling dealer. The fix went smooth as silk, and appears to add a significant amount of strength to the top box/mounting plate over the original. Yamaha allows .5 of an hour for the work; the mechanic may have taken 10 minutes more as it was his first install of the kit. I recommend having it done.
