Transport Canada recalls
04- Steering#2020406
9,362 units affected
Issue: On certain side-by-side UTVs, a steering joint bolt could interfere with the steering shaft. As a result, the steering joint could wear and cause a loss of steering control. Safety Risk: A loss of steering could create the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your UTV to a dealer to inspect the steering joint. Dealers will replace the lower yoke bolt and washer. If damage is found, steering joint B will also be replaced.
- Powertrain#2019127
4,608 units affected
Issue: On certain side-by-side vehicles, the accelerator pedal may not return when it is released. This would cause the throttle to remain open. Safety Risk: If the throttle sticks in the open position, it could cause a loss of control and result in a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to install a new throttle pedal assembly. Note: If parts are not available, as a temporary repair, the pedal assembly will be inspected. Grease will be applied to the throttle pedal shaft if required. When replacement parts become available, these owners will be notified to bring their vehicle back to the dealer to install the new parts.
- Fuel System#2018455
3,691 units affected
On certain side-by-side ATV’s, the throttle body insulators may not have been correctly installed. In the event of an engine backfire, this could cause the throttle body to separate from the insulators. If the vehicle is operated with this condition and there is sufficient combustible debris built up on the engine, this could result in a fire creating a risk of injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will inspect the throttle bodies and adjust as necessary.
- Structure#2018188
4,179 units affected
Certain side-by-side off-road vehicles may experience a single cylinder misfire. Should the vehicle continue to be driven with that condition, the increased exhaust temperature may cause the plastic muffler protector to melt and the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property would be increased. Correction: Dealers will replace the muffler protector with an updated part.
