CPSC, American Suzuki Motor Corporation Announce Recall of 2004-2005 Vinson and 2005 KingQuad All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)

Reported: March 16, 2005 Initiated: March 16, 2005 #05555

Product Description

Suzuki 2004-2005 model year LT-A500F Vinson, Suzuki 2004-2005 model year LT-F500F Vinson, and Suzuki 2005 model year LT-A700X KingQuad ATVs. Suzuki Vinson and KingQuad ATVs are adult-size ATVs designed for use by riders age 16 and older. These ATVs are available in yellow, green, red or camouflage and have the model name (Vinson or KingQuad) on the side of the fuel tank.

Reason for Recall

Water can enter the throttle lever case and freeze, causing the throttle lever to become stuck and fail to automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle. If the throttle lever does not automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle, the ATV will not slow down as the rider expects. The rider could lose control of the ATV and an accident resulting in injury or death could occur.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these ATVs immediately and contact a local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for repair service.
