On certain ATV's, the rider may be able to downshift 1st gear into reverse without operating the reverse assist (lockout) lever. Unintended engagement of reverse gear while moving forward could lock the rear wheels and cause the rider to lose control and crash. Correction: Dealers will install a shift lockout spring kit.
