Honda TRX350 - Sportrax 350: Suspension

Affects Honda TRX350 - Sportrax 350 · 2000–2001 — about 14K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the front suspension, upper A-arm, rear mounting brackets may have been improperly welded. As a result, cracking could occur at the welded portion of the bracket or frame. Eventually this could result in the brackets deforming or separating from the frame when the vehicle is ridden. If a suspension mounting bracket fails, the vehicle could lose steering control and a crash could occur. Correction: Rear upper A-arms and frame will be inspected for damage or missing welds. Undamaged brackets or frame will have reinforcement brackets installed on both the left and right upper A-arm mounts. If the brackets or frame is cracked or damaged, or if any welds are missing, the frame will be replaced.
