CPSC, Suzuki Motor Corporation Announce Recall of ATVs
USCPSC, Suzuki Motor Corporation Announce Recall of ATVs
Recalling Firm: Suzuki Motor Corporation of Brea, Calif.
Reason for Recall / Hazard
The nut that secures the LT-F400K2 and LT-F400FK2 clutch shoe will come loose during operation. When the nut loosens, the clutch shoe will become loose on the crankshaft. In some cases this will cause severe damage to the clutch wheel and crankshaft or can cause the crankshaft to break. This will interrupt power transfer from the engine to the transmission and the drive wheels and may leave the rider stranded away from his or her base of operation.
