Class I - Dangerous
Snow and ice stuck around the steering idler arm can cause a loss of steering ability, posing a risk of injury and death to drivers and passengers.
Class I - Dangerous
The protective boots covering the steering system's tie-rod ends (universal joints) on the recalled ATVs could be pinched during installation or adjustment, cutting a hole in the rubber. If this occurs, grease could escape, and contaminants, such as sand or mud, could get into the assembly through the hole, causing accelerated wear. This could result in abnormal steering free play. If the ATV continues to be operated without repair, the ball and socket portion of the tie-rod end could wear to the point that they separate, resulting in loss of steering control, which could cause a vehicle crash with injury or death.
Class II - Moderate
A mounting-bracket weld on the rear hub can come loose, resulting in rear brake failure and possible injury to operators.
Class I - Dangerous
The throttle on these motorcycles can stick, causing a rider to lose control of the vehicle and crash, resulting in injuries and death.
