On certain ATVs, a weld securing the front differential cross pin can break, which could cause the front differential and front wheels to lock up. Depending on vehicle speed at the time this occurs, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, cause the ATV to tip over forward, or cause the rider to be thrown from the vehicle. These issues could increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front differential carrier assembly.
