Yamaha ATV Recall
There is a Yamaha recall of over 20,000 Yamaha ATVs according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The recall was precipitated by a problem the Yamaha lawsuits have previously addressed: the steering column support assembly can crack and cause the rider to lose steering control. Yamaha has received 19 reports of incidents involving the recalled ATVs. This number is typically underreported.
This Yamaha recall involves the non-power steering models. The following model numbers are affected by this recall:
Grizzly 550:
• Model 2009, Model Numbers: YFM550FGHY, YFM550FGY
• Model 2010, Model Numbers: YFM550FGHZ, YFM550FGZ
Grizzly 700:
• Model 2008, Model Numbers: YFM700FGHX, YFM700FGX
• Model 2009, Model Numbers: YFM700FGHY, YFM700FGY
• Model Year 2010, Model Numbers: YFM700FGHZ, YFM700FGZ
The CPSC is advising riders of Yamahas subject to this AVT recall to stop using the recalled ATVs and contact their local Yamaha dealer to schedule a free repair.
This recall is yet another sign to Yamaha that they have to do something with their ATVs. They are not safe and more people are going to get killed until they design a better product. ATVs are dangerous enough when they are properly designed.
