CPSC, Cannondale Corp. Announce Recall of ATVs

Official recall recorded by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The hazard

The ball joints in the A-arm assembly on these vehicles can break, which could cause the front wheels to lose stability. Also, the tie-rod assemblies on these vehicles can break or work loose, and damage either the steering column plate end or knuckle. If the ball joints or a tie rod end breaks, the operator can lose control of the vehicle during use, and crash.

What to do

Consumers should stop riding these ATVs and contact their local Cannondale dealer to schedule an appointment to have the ball joints and tie-rod assemblies replaced free of charge. If possible, consumers should contact the dealer where they purchased their ATV. Owners of these ATVs were directly notified about this recall.
