Yamaha Rhino ATV Rollover and Recall
Yamaha Rhino owners have been advised to stop operating certain models of the all-terrain vehicles because of rollover concerns.
On March 31, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, in cooperation with Yamaha Motor Corp., announced a free repair program to address safety issues with the Rhino 450, 660 and 700 models of off-highway recreational vehicles.
There have been 46 deaths of ATV drivers and ATV passengers linked to the Rhino 450 and 660. More than two-thirds of the fatalities involved rollovers. Unbelted Rhino occupants were also involved in many of the deaths. Many of the incidents involving ATV deaths or serious injuries occurred while operating the ATVs at slow speeds on relatively level terrain.
The repair program includes the installation of a spacer on the rear wheels, removal of the rear anti-sway bar, the installation of half-doors and the installation of passenger holds.
