CPSC, American Honda Motor Corp. Announce Recall of All-Terrain Vehicles

Reason for Recall

A safety defect could exist in the transmission, that could allow the rider to downshift from 1st gear into reverse, without operating the reverse assist (lockout) lever. The reverse lockout spring may not have been properly installed. Unintended engagement of reverse gear while moving forward could lock the rear wheels and cause the rider to lose control.

Action Taken

Consumers should stop using these recalled ATVs until the repair has been completed. Please call any Honda ATV dealer to make an appointment to have your ATV repaired. The dealer will install a kit to prevent the shift problem. Consumers with the recalled ATVs have been sent direct notice via U.S. mail.
