The brake light switch defect has been detected on Sirirus Fi and Jupiter Fi models that were manufactured between March 31 and May 22, 2014, Yamaha Motor Vietnam said in a statement.
The switch was made of substandard plastic, causing its cover to melt due to heat caused by static electricity, the company said.
Yamaha Motor Vietnam submitted a proposal to the Vietnam Register, which provides technical supervision and certification for means of transport, on June 11 to recall the affected vehicles for free part replacement.
Owners of the affected motorbikes are encouraged to visit Yamaha dealerships across Vietnam to have the brake light switch replaced for free.
This is the second recall launched by Yamaha Motor Vietnam in a little more than a year.
In May 2013, the company announced a nationwide recall campaign targeting the Yamaha Nozza - 1DR1 scooters over three technical errors.
The recall affects 83,000 Nozza scooters made between August 20, 2011 and March 30, 2013.
The technical faults include the fuel pipe and the bearing frame and bolts for the pipe.
