The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced the recall of about 1,200 2008-2009
Can-Am Youth ATVs. In the case of rider ejection when the cord strap is pulled, the shutoff switch can fail to disable the engine. The ATV can then operate uncontrolled until the engine returns to idle. This can cause all kinds of problems, including collisions with bystanders, vehicles or otherobjects.
The ATV’s were made in Vietnam by Vietnam Precision Industrial for BRP U.S. Inc., of Sturtevant, Wisconsin. They were sold at authorized Can-Am dealers nationwide from August 2007 through September 2008 for about $3,400 each.
The recall involves model year 2008-2009 Can-Am DS 90 X ATVs that are black with yellow and orange trim. You can find the model name located on the side panels.
If you have one of the recalled ATV’s, you should immediately stop your children from using it and contact any Can-Am=AE dealer to schedule a free repair. Consumers are also being sent a direct notice from BRP.
