Recalls: An Overview.
Following this Post are separate posts housing actual Yamaha Recall Documents.
Calling Yamaha yourself or having a dealer check with Yamaha using your bike's VIN is the best way to verify recall work. Sometimes there are VIN errors on documents so its a good idea to compare the VIN with the motorcycle neck plate VIN, which lives on the right-side of the frame's steering neck.

Ask to inquire about recall status.
When a recall is completed, the dealer is supposed to make a punch mark on your motorcycle's VIN plate as illustrated in the attachment, and its possible the dealer performing recall work correctly punched marks onto the VIN plate. Sometimes they forget to punch-mark. So if its marked the recall work is likely done, and if its not marked it might be done and they forgot to mark the VIN plate.
Sometimes there are other clues a recall has been done, like the white dot on the rubber grommet of the CPS harness as it exits the crankcase cover. If you do a search for each of the recalls you'll find lots of info. For example, there's posts discussing the fuel tank mount recall, and ways to be sure it was done. Also see each of the official recall documents below.
