The hazard
On certain ATV's, the rear axle bearings could contain an insufficient amount of grease or close to no grease. This situation could cause a failure of the rear bearings, which could render the vehicle unstable. In some cases, the rear axle can seize and could potentially lead to a loss of control. Such a situation can potentially cause serious injuries or even death to rider or bystander. Correction: Dealers will grease the rear axle bearings.
