Reason for Recall
A mounting bracket on the front suspension of the Honda Rancher TRX350 models could be welded improperly to the frame. If this mounting bracket breaks, the vehicle could lose steering control and crash. The brake pads on the Honda TRX400EX models could have been assembled incorrectly. This can cause the brakes to fail, resulting in severe injury or death.
Action Taken
Consumers should stop using these ATVs immediately, and call their local Honda ATV dealer to schedule a free inspection and repair, if needed.
