On certain ATVs, the pivot bolts holding the rear suspension onto the frame may not have received adequate tightening torque during vehicle assembly. As such, they could become loose, and fall out, causing the rear swing arm to detach from the chassis. This could result in a loss of vehicle control and a crash with personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will torque the pivot bolts to specs.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2008075.
