Our 2013 AR190 experienced a catastrophic timing chain failure which has damaged the cylinder head, broken a piston which fell into crank case, and we expect more damage beyond that once the dealer has finished disassembly. Dealer contacted Yamaha and they won’t cover repairs. We have 78 hours on the engine and this boat was serviced annually!! I saw a post by zwillz referencing case #’s, names and a written letter from Yamaha. Would love getting that info as I want to pursue further with Yamaha.
Spending $35,000+ for a boat only to have this kind of a catastrophic failure after 78 hours when the manufacturer was clearly aware of the issue is criminal. They should have issued a recall or at least notified owners at the very least!!!
We are absolutely sick about this!!!!
