The hazard

On certain side-by-side recreational off-highway vehicles, the throttle cable could become damaged due its close proximity to the exhaust system if the vehicle is operated under heavy load and low airflow conditions. This could prevent the throttle mechanism from returning to an idle position upon release of the throttle, which could result in a loss of control and increase the risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and re-route the throttle cable as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to stop using their ATV until the defect has been repaired.
