All Terrain Vehicles Recalled by American Suzuki Motor Corp. Due to Loss of Control Hazard
The flame arrester screen can become detached from its mounting ring, preventing the throttle valve from returning to the idle position when the throttle lever is released and causing the rider to lose control of the ATV. This poses a serious hazard of injury or death.
