Product description
The recalled ATVs are the Suzuki "Eiger" LT- A400FK3 and the "Eiger" LT-F400FK3. They are red or green, and carry the identifications "Suzuki" and "Eiger" on both sides of the bodywork, roughly inboard of the operator's knee location.

Consumers should contact their local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for their ATV to be inspected and repaired.
