If this mounting bracket breaks, the vehicle could lose steering control and crash. The brake pads on the Honda TRX400EX models could have been assembled incorrectly. This can cause the brakes to fail, resulting in severe injury or death.

The compression rods inside these forks can break, causing the rider to lose control of the bicycle, fall, and possibly suffer serious injuries.

These face guards, which attach to helmets, can become dislodged on impact, causing them to fall off, leaving the user's face exposed to possible injury.

These camper stoves could have been shipped with butane already in the fuel compartment, posing a fire and burn hazard. Also, because of a possible problem with the fuel control mechanism, the stoves could flare up or catch fire when operated.
