This Yamaha model was of the possible bursting or burning of an interference suppression capacitor in the power supply unit and has been modified free of charge by Yamaha in a recall campaign since 2007. (also applies to some other models of these years of construction). The affected metal paper capacitor of the Rifa brand was also installed by many other manufacturers (including cf53591af1208ddd535806600273099a, Revox , Saba, c1f456ee3fc507d644eb50420511ad91) - but there were never any recalls because of this.
