CPSC, Bombardier Recreational Products Inc., and Deere & Company Announce Recall of ATVs
Bombardier Recreational Products Inc., of Valcourt, Quebec, Canada
Hazard
Front brake hose can be pulled out of its retaining brackets on either side of the ATV by foreign objects. This can cause the brake hose to wear by rubbing on the inner wheel or shock absorber spring seat, ultimately causing a brake fluid leak, resulting in a complete loss of front braking capacity. This can lead to an increase in the braking distance and possible collision with bystanders, fixed objects, or other vehicles, causing serious injury or death.
Remedy
Free repair. Call a Bombardier or John Deere dealer to make an appointment to have your ATV repaired free of charge. Stop using your ATV until this repair is performed. All known owners of recalled ATVs have been notified.
