[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Honda recently announced an expansion of its recall of its FourTrax All-Terrain Vehicles. About 2,900 FourTrax ATVs were recalled in February and the new recall expands the number of recalled ATVs to 19,500.
The manufacturer says that at least 10 of its consumers have complained that the front right and upper left suspension arms of the ATV can separate. This separation can occur while the ATV is being operated and may cause a rider to lose control of his or her ATV.
At least one ATV owner has experienced a sprained wrist as a result of this product defect.
The recalled vehicles were sold between November 2012 and September 2011 in the U.S. Consumers are advised to immediately stop using the ATVs and to have their ATVs serviced at their local Honda ATV dealer.
