The hazard
On certain ATV's, incorrect routing of the throttle cable may cause the cable to bind in the chassis. If the cable is bound and the handlebars are turned either full right or full left, it may cause the throttle to open and allow the ATV to accelerate. Unexpected acceleration could cause the operator to lose control of the vehicle and crash, possibly resulting in severe injury or death. Correction: Dealers will re-route the throttle cable.
