Yamaha Rhino ATV Sales Suspended

Sales of Yamaha Rhino ATVs have been suspended because scores of deaths and injuries have occurred after the all-terrain vehicles rolled over on their drivers and passengers.

Sales were halted on March 31 when the federal government announced a free repair program for more than 120,000 Yamaha Rhino models 450, 660 and 700.

According to the announcement from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Rhino has been linked to the deaths of at least 46 ATV drivers and passengers.

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 passenger holds.
