The hazard
On certain ATVs, the front suspension steering knuckles may not have been manufactured to specifications. Oversized ball joint stem mounting holes and oversized pinch bolt through holes may cause a reduction in the clamp force required to retain the ball joint stems in the steering knuckle. As a result, the upper or lower control arm assemblies could become disconnected from the steering knuckle. This could cause a loss of steering control and a crash resulting in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs.
