The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), with SunL Group Inc. of Irving, Texas and American Honda Motor Co. Inc., of Torrance, California has issued a voluntary recall on a number of All-terrain Vehicles (ATV).
SunL is recalling about 144 SLA90 Youth ATVs because the ATVs lack front brakes, a manual fuel shut-off, and padding to cover sharp edges on the handlebar assembly and have been sold without a tire pressure gauge or adequate flag pole bracket. These safety defects could lead to drivers losing control of the ATVs, which poses the risk of <"https://www.yourlawyer.com/practice_areas/product_liability">serious injuries or death. The ATVs were made in China and sold through SunL dealers nationwide and Internet retailers during May 2005-March 2007 for $400-$500. Consumers are to immediately stop using these ATVs and contact SunL to receive a full refund at (866) 355-0497 (9 a.m.-6 p.m. CT, Monday-Friday) or at www.sunl.com. The SLA90 ATVs are intended for children 12-15 years of age and come in red, blue, yellow, green and in camo pink, brown, green, and blue. The word “Sunl†is on the front side of the ATV and recalled units bear one of the following Vehicle Identification Numbers:

In the second recall, American Honda Motor Co. issued a recall of approximately 42,000 Model Year 2007-2008 TRX 420 Rancher ATVs—also known as the Honda FourTrax Rancher 4X4—due to risk of loss of control hazard because the if ATV’s rubber CV (constant velocity) boots becomes punctured or torn, its joint will become contaminated and severe binding of the CV joints could occur, resulting in the sudden loss of steering control and posing a risk of injury or death. These are adult-size ATVs designed for riders age 16 and older and come in red, black, olive, and camouflage. The Honda name and wing logo are printed on the fuel tank, the model year is printed on a label located on the frame behind the left front wheel, and the model name “Rancher†is on a label on the ATVs left rear. Honda TRX420 ATVs were sold at Honda ATV dealers nationwide January 2007-May 2008 for $5,300-$5,600 and were manufactured in the US. Consumers are to immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact any Honda ATV dealer to make an appointment for a free repair; registered owners were sent notices. Honda can be reached toll-free at (866) 784-1870 (8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. PT, Monday-Friday) or at: www.powersports.honda.com.
