India Yamaha Motor (IYM) has initiated a voluntary recall of 306,635 units of its 125cc hybrid scooter models. The campaign affects the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid and Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid models manufactured between 2 May 2024 and 3 September 2025. The action is effective immediately and focuses on addressing a technical issue identified in the braking system.

The recall was prompted by a concern regarding the front brake caliper, which may exhibit limited function under specific operating conditions in certain units. To rectify this, India Yamaha Motor said it will replace the component at no cost to the owners of the affected vehicles. The work will be carried out at Yamaha showrooms across the country.

Owners can check if their vehicle is part of the recall by visiting the India Yamaha Motor website. Under the service and maintenance section, users are required to enter their Chassis Number in the 'Scooter 125' category to confirm eligibility and view instructions for the replacement process.

The company stated that the recall is part of its commitment to product safety and quality. There are no reports in the announcement of incidents resulting from the identified brake caliper concern.

According to the official communication from India Yamaha Motor: "Customer safety remains Yamaha’s highest priority. This voluntary recall has been initiated to address a potential concern wherein it has been identified that, under certain operating conditions, the front brake caliper exhibits limited function in select units of the RayZR 125 Fi Hybrid and Fascino 125 Fi Hybrid scooter models".
