The hazard
On certain ATVs, the rear sprocket retention bolts may loosen during vehicle operation, allowing the sprocket to partially or fully detach from the hub. As a result, the sprocket could catch the A-arm and cause the rear wheels to lock-up, possibly leading to a loss of vehicle control and a crash with serious personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will install a bolt retainer plate assembly.
