02- Steering#2012440
1,250 units affected
On certain side-by-side vehicles, lower splines at the steering column to rack and pinion joint may not be sufficiently engaged. The splines could fail causing a loss of steering. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect spline engagement and replace the steering wheel shaft or steering column if necessary.
- Other#2012361
10,800 units affected
If some side-by-side ATVs are operated in deep water (over 30 cm) containing an important quantity of floating grass, hay or leaves, this debris may accumulate near the exhaust system and potentially cause a fire resulting in injury and/or damage to property. Correction: A debris cleaning procedure will be provided to owners and dealers will install a front grille kit upon request.
