CPSC, Manco Products, Inc Announce Recall of ATVs

Reported: October 1, 2002 Initiated: October 1, 2002 #03501

Product Description

The recalled ATVs are the Agritrax 8260 and Talon 8260-01. The model carries the identifications "Talon" or "Agritrax" on both sides of the bodywork.

Reason for Recall

The hose barbs that are used for the fuel fittings on the bottom of the fuel tank may have been overly tightened and possibly the wrong sealer was used during assembly. This can cause the threaded joint to fail and the sealer to not adhere to the joint itself. Fuel can drip from the tank, posing a fire hazard. In addition, there was a casting flaw in the aluminum housing on the front suspension. This could cause the front wheel to come loose from the connection point, causing the rider to lose control of the vehicle.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these ATVs immediately and contact their local Manco Products, Inc. dealer to schedule a free repair or to receive a full refund. Owners of these ATVs have been directly notified about this recall.
