On some ATVs, the front upper suspension arms may have insufficient weld penetration which may result in failure of the weld. Should the weld on a suspension arm completely fail, the steering will pull towards the side of the failed suspension arm, negatively affecting the rider's ability to steer the ATV, and potentially leading to a crash causing injury and/or damager to property. Correction: Dealers will replace left and right suspension arms with updated components.
