CPSC, American Suzuki Motor Corporation Announce Recall of 2004-2005 Vinson and 2005 KingQuad All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)

Hazard

Water can enter the throttle lever case and freeze, causing the throttle lever to become stuck and fail to automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle. If the throttle lever does not automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle, the ATV will not slow down as the rider expects. The rider could lose control of the ATV and an accident resulting in injury or death could occur.
