What’s wrong
The speed controller on the recalled ATVs could fail to return to the idle position when the throttle lever is released, or the speed controller could fail to be at idle on start up. This could result in loss of vehicle control, which could result in serious injury or death to the rider.
The Recall Registry rates this serious — The agency describes a risk of serious injury or death.
