The throttle lever can stick, increasing the risk of a crash
of ConsumerAffairs
Off-road vehicles seem to have problems lately. CFMOTO is the latest company to recall 2,650 all-terrain vehicles due to crash hazards.
The throttle lever on the recalled ATVs can fail to return to the idle position when a driver releases it, and the vehicle could then unexpectedly continue to accelerate, posing a crash hazard.
CFMOTO has received four reports of the throttle failing to return to the idle position and including one report of the vehicle crashing, including one minor impact injury.
This recall involves 2024 CFORCE 800 Touring and 2024 CFORCE 1000 Touring ATVs. The recreational off highway vehicles were sold in gray, orange, black and camouflage (camo) colors.
CFMOTO is printed on the rear fender sides of the vehicle and CFORCE is printed on the upper side panels of the body. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is stamped on the vehicles frame behind the right rear wheel.
CFMOTO has received four reports of the throttle failing to return to the idle position and including one report of the vehicle crashing, including one minor impact injury.
CFMOTO Powersports dealers nationwide from May 2024 through August 2024 for between $9,400 and $10,500.
