On certain ATVs, the front suspension steering knuckles may not have been manufactured to specifications. Oversized ball joint stem mounting holes and oversized pinch bolt through holes may cause a reduction in the clamp force required to retain the ball joint stems in the steering knuckle. As a result, the upper or lower control arm assemblies could become disconnected from the steering knuckle. This could cause a loss of steering control and a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
A failure of this component (suspension) may increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Authorized dealerships will inspect the vehicle and complete all necessary repairs free of charge (parts and labor).
On certain ATVs, operated in sub-freezing temperatures, for repeated short-run periods of time, excess moisture may collect and freeze in the outlet port of the crankcase ventilation valve assembly. If this occurs, a restriction of crankcase ventilation to the air box could cause an increase of crankcase pressure leading to valve cover gasket displacement and engine oil leakage. Should an oil leak at the valve cover occur, oil could contact the exhaust header pipe and create a fire hazard, which could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a crankcase breather kit.
