Rhino recall

[snowzombie]

Watching the news last night and they said all models of Rhinos were being recalled. This was a US brodcast but I thought I would pass it along may be worth your while if you own one to check and see if it applies to Canadian models as well.
It was a safety recall relating to rollover type accidents.

Yes it was for us here also.

What years did this recall affect?

[DRD]

04 to current I believe. The voluntary recall is basically pulling the rear sway bar and installing a couple of wheel spacers, 2" per side or 4" total (just rear axle).

[mudboy]

All years till present. Not sure how this spacer and sway bar disconect will affect people with track kits ??? I for one would like to find out how big these spaces are. Because with after market rims and tires I am already wider then stock.

I don't think Yammi cares about aftermarket tires etc. They are just trying to cover thier azzes with the recall. It's not a mandatory recall. I read somewhere the spacers are 2", not gospel though.

Its Yamaha's answer to the litigation happy idiots who have trouble walking, never mind driving a machine. If the teryx, prowler, razr, were the first ones to have a sport UTV, they would be the ones getting sued because of some dipsh*** and their inbred dumba** buddies. I have had my rhino on its side twice, and both were totally my fault !!! You don't have to wonder why there are so many Lawyer jokes if you read the papers from anywhere .

oops, sorry , kinda went off there.

[intmid8or!]

here's what i got....

[rubirose]

It is too bad that there is such a thing as lawyers for situations like this. Riding an ATV/UTV is a dangerous sport, and everyone knows that you can killed if you go beyond the machines capabilities or yours. When will people learn?

[Snowdin]

I'm glad this is not compulsory. I will not be doing the stupid recall. Hillbilly...I mean dumba...I mean stupid people will continue to be stupid until we all get regulated out of our hobbies.
