Recall Issued for the KTM ATV Models 450/525 XC and 450/505SX

KTM is recalling the ATV models 450/525 XC from the 2008 and
2009 model years, as well as the 2009 model of the 450/505 SX, in
order to replace the rear brake calliper support and the hand
brake cylinder's piston return spring in officially authorized
workshops.

A defect can develop in the rear brake calliper support of the 2008 and
2009 models of the 450/525 XC ATV and in the 2009 model of the
450/505 SX. Problems with the hand brake cylinder's piston return
spring can also develop. It is essential to replace the affected parts
immediately, in order to ensure the complete functional capability and
reliability of the braking system, as well as the satisfaction and safety of
our customers.

Buyers of the above-mentioned ATV models are therefore requested to
contact an official KTM-authorized repair shop. The replacement of the
rear brake calliper support and the piston return spring of the hand
brake cylinder are naturally free of charge and can be accomplished in
one short visit to a repair shop.

notices from KTM. It is also possible to verify whether a vehicle is

Repair Campaign Announcement

In cooperation with the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. will be offering certain free repairs for all Rhino Side x Side (SxS) vehicles.

This is not a recall. This is a voluntary repair program.
The CPSC announced this repair program for Rhino 660 and 450 models. Yamaha is also voluntarily implementing the same free repairs for Rhino 700 models.

According to the CPSC, the following two repairs are needed “to help reduce the chance of rollover and improve vehicle handling”:

1. Installation of a spacer on each of the rear wheels.
2. Removal of the rear anti-sway bar.

Repair parts meeting CPSC requirements will be available to be installed by your Yamaha dealer as quickly as possible. We will send dealers full repair instructions and will send a follow-up letter to all registered owners as soon as these parts are available.

You should not operate your Rhino until it is modified with these repair parts. If you own a Rhino 660 or 450 that does not have the free doors and additional passenger handhold offered by Yamaha, you should also have these parts installed on your vehicle.

Yamaha stands firmly behind the Rhino SxS as a safe, reliable off-road vehicle. The Rhino is the best-selling SxS vehicle in the market and has been shown to be the best in its class, with many industry and press awards to its credit. Indeed, more than 99% of Rhinos sold to date are being enjoyed by enthusiastic owners without reported incidents.

Yamaha always advises the safe, responsible use of our products. As a reminder, Rhino users should always wear helmets and seatbelts, as well as follow all instructions and warnings in the on-product labels, owner’s manual, and other safety materials. The Rhino is only recommended for operators 16 and older with a valid driver’s license. Every passenger must be tall enough to place both feet on the floorboard with his or her back against the seat back.

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE

Dear TRX Owner:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the Consumer Product Safety Act.

What is the reason for this notice?

In cooperation with the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, American Honda Motor Co.,Inc. is conducting a voluntary safety recall of certain 2006 model year Honda TRX450R/ER ATV’s.
Our records indicate that you own one of these vehicles.

What is the problem?

A safety defect may exist in the steering system of your TRX. The front suspension arm ball joints may have been contaminated during the production process, resulting in rapid wear of the ball joints and possible ball joint separation. If ball joint separation occurs while riding, the TRX could lose steering control and may crash.

What should you do?

Honda strongly recommends that you do not operate your TRX until it has been repaired. Parts will be available soon. We will send you another letter notifying you when you can go to your Honda ATV dealer for the free replacement of all four front suspension arms
(Right/Left & Upper/Lower).

If you must operate the vehicle prior to repair, perform the following inspection before each ride to ensure that the ball joints have not loosened:

Visual and Physical Inspection of the upper and lower ball joints:

Park the TRX on a flat, hard surface, such as a driveway or hard packed dirt surface. Turn the handlebars until the front wheels are aimed straight ahead. With the handlebars centered, grab the tire with both hands as shown. Push and pull the top of the tire while feeling for any looseness, listening for a clicking/knocking noise, and observing the upper and lower ball joint housings for up and down movement. Repeat this procedure on the opposite side. If you perceive any looseness, hear noise, or observe movement of the ball joint housing, the ball joint has excessive freeplay and must be replaced before the TRX is operated.

If you do not feel qualified to inspect your ball joints, please do not operate your vehicle until it has been repaired.

If you feel any excessive steering looseness or hear noise while riding, stop the vehicle and check the ball joints.

If you have questions.

If you have questions about this notice please call Honda Motorcycle Customer Support at (866) 784-1870. You may also visit our Web site at www.hondamotorcycle.com for more information.

What to do if you feel this notice is in error.

This notice was mailed to you according to the most current information we have available. If you no longer own this vehicle, or some information in this notice is incorrect, please fill out and return the included, postage-paid Information Change Card. This will help us update our records.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Thank you for your FourTrax purchase and your cooperation.

Sincerely,

American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
