Kawasaki Motors Recalls ATV Vehicles

January 2007

About 9,000 Kawasaki all-terrain vehicles were recalled because the vehicles were not assembled correctly and could cause injury or even death.

On some of these ATVs, the handlebar holder, tie-rod adjustment, and tie-rod end nuts may not have been tightened to the proper torque. When the ATVs are operated, it can cause the nuts to loosen, resulting in a loss of steering control. This poses a crash hazard, which can result in injury or death.

Kawasaki has received 10 reports of nuts loosening on the handlebar holder, tie-rod adjustment or tie-rod end nut. One of these incidents resulted in an ATV rider losing steering control and caused a minor injury.

The recall involves Kawasaki 2007 model year KSF50B7F (KFX50) and KSF90A7F (KFX90) All Terrain Vehicles. These are 50cc and 90cc models designed for use by operators 6 years of age and older (KFX50) and 12 years and older (KFX90). They are available in Lime Green or White, and have "Kawasaki" and "KFX50" or "KFX90" on the sides of the bodywork below the handlebars.

Consumers with recalled ATVs should stop using these vehicles immediately and contact a local Kawasaki dealer to schedule an appointment for repair service.
