A rear control arm separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.Corrective Actions:
Textron will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your ATV to a dealership to inspect the rear upper A-arm mounting brackets and install a support bracket. If the A-arm mounting brackets are cracked, the frame will be repaired. To reduce the safety risk, Textron advises that you should inspect the rear upper A-arm mount periodically, and stop using your ATV immediately if you see any cracks.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Arctic Cat: 69 in the register, and 637 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2022.
