Medium riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Honda. On some ATVs, the front upper suspension arms may have insufficient weld penetration which may result in failure of the weld. Should the weld on a suspension arm completely fail, the steering will pull towards the side of the failed suspension arm, negatively affecting the rider's ability to steer the ATV, and potentially leading to a crash causing injury and/or damager to property. Correction: Dealers will replace left and right suspension arms with updated components. Published 2013-04-11.
