Thank you.

If I paid less than $12,800 will I have an issue with this? I called Port Yamaha and they are only taking 1 viper a week. Call early guys.

I received a recall notice from Yamaha Canada about a month ago for this.

Just spoke with Yamaha. Any 2016 Viper with dealer installed turbo is recalled. Letters went out on the 10th and you should receive them soon.
