BRP U.S. Inc. Youth All Terrain Vehicles Due to Collision Hazard
Check whether yours is affected, then follow the instructions below.
What’s wrong
If the rider is ejected and the cord strap is pulled, the shutoff switch can fail to disable the engine. The ATV can operate uncontrolled, until the engine returns to idle, and cause a collision with bystanders, vehicles or other objects. This poses a serious risk of injury.
The Recall Registry rates this worth checking — we found nothing in the notice describing a specific injury. A recall covers only the versions, UPCs or date codes it names, so check those against yours.
What it looks like
Photos help. Identifiers decide. Appearance can vary by color, finish or packaging. Confirm the model number, date code or other identifier in the official notice.
