Confirm these details on the official CPSC noticeWhy it was recalled
On the recalled ATVs, the handlebar base mounting bolts, tie-rod ends and tie-rod adjustment locking nuts may not have been tightened to the proper torque during the production process. Operating an affected ATV could cause components to loosen, resulting in loss of steering control. This condition could result in loss of vehicle control, which could result in injury or death.
