344 supported household-product notices found in official CPSC data.
Polaris Industries
The ATV's front bearing carrier can fail due to an insufficient amount of material thickness in the area where the lower a-arm and ball joint are attached, which can result in a loss of control and a crash and/or serious injury to the operator.
Polaris Industries
The right and left front suspension shock towers can separate due to inadequate welding during the manufacturing process. Separation of the welded joints can result in stiffer steering or the shock mount failing suddenly, causing the rider to lose control of the snowmobile and crash.
The brake caliper sets could break and detach from the bicycle's fork or frame. This could cause the rider to lose control and crash.
The bicycle frame can crack while in use, causing the rider to lose control and suffer injuries from a fall or collision.
The bushing pivot mount boss on the left and right suspension arm may not have been welded completely and could break off during riding. If this occurs, the rider could lose control of the ATV and crash, posing risk of serious injury or death.
Kawasaki Motors
On some of these units, the handlebar holder, tie-rod adjustment, and tie-rod end nuts may not have been tightened to the proper torque. Operation of the vehicle can cause the nuts to loosen, resulting in a loss of steering control. This poses a crash hazard, which can result in injury or death.
Kawasaki Motors
These vehicles could have been assembled with improperly manufactured steering knuckles that could break while the vehicle is in operation. This can cause a loss of steering control and cause a crash, resulting in injury or death.
The mounting brackets used to secure the left-front suspension arm to the ATV frame may not have been welded completely and could break off during riding. If this occurs, the rider could lose control of the ATV and crash, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The headsets mount to bicycle frames and fasten to the front fork assembly. A protruding component of the headset can contact the steering tube of the front fork assembly, score or scratch the steering tube, and weaken the structural integrity of the front fork. The front fork could break, causing the handlebars to separate from the bicycle during use and result in a crash.
The cushion lever mounting bracket on the ATV frame can break. If this occurs, the rider could lose control of the ATV and crash, posing a risk of serious injury or death.
The steering columns on these snowmobiles could have a missing weld, which could allow a steering component to become loose. This could lead to a loss of control or possible collision, causing serious injury or even death.
The alloy frame used for these bicycles can be prone to fatigue failure. Frame failure results in the separation of the fork, head tube, and handlebar away from the rest of the bike, causing a loss of control and crash, and posing a risk of serious injury to the rider.
