TOKYO, Sep 30, 2004 (Kyodo via COMTEX) -- Yamaha Motor Co. said Thursday it is recalling 5,715 small motorcycles of seven models for free repairs due to a brake problem.

In a report to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Yamaha said motorbikes such as Mate V50 and Mate T90, produced between June and September, could have their brake strength reduced if a friction material comes off due to adhesive failure.

Meanwhile, DaimlerChrysler Japan Co. and Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery Manufacturing Co. also filed recall reports separately.

DaimlerChrysler Japan said it is recalling 459 Mercedes-Benz "Viano" passenger cars imported to Japan between last November and April, as their rear axles could break.

Sumitomo (S.H.I.) said tires of 116 vehicles for asphalt pavement, manufactured between last November and August, could fall off.
