CPSC, Honda Recall 200,000 ATVs

The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission announced with Honda that 200,000 units of the Honda 2004-2005 FourTrax All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) have been recalled.

The vehicle's steering rods can separate, causing the driver to lose steering control. This could cause the ATV to crash and pose a risk of serious injury or death. The CPSC says that Honda has reported more than two dozen instances of the problem, but no one has been injured to date.

The recalled vehicles are red, olive, yellow or blue and have “Honda” written on the fuel tank. Consumers who suspect their vehicle might have been recalled can call Honda toll-free at (866) 784-1870 between 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. PT Monday through Friday.
