Here is a copy of the press release:
CPSC, Cannondale Corp. Announce Recall of ATVs PRODUCT: All-Terrain Vehicles - Cannondale Corp., of Bethel, Conn., is voluntarily recalling about 630 model year 2001 and 2002 All-Terrain Vehicles.
PROBLEM:
The ball joints in the A-arm assembly on these vehicles can break, which could cause the front wheels to lose stability. Also, the tie-rod assemblies on these vehicles can break or work loose, and damage either the steering column plate end or knuckle. If the ball joints or a tie rod end breaks, the operator can lose control of the vehicle during use and crash.
INCIDENTS/INJURIES:
Cannondale Corp. has received five reports of the ball joints in the A-arm assembly on these ATVs breaking and two reports of the tie-rod ends breaking. One consumer suffered a concussion and another suffered a bruised shoulder
Yet another thumbs up from Cannondale for yet again standing behind their products. Only 5 reports of ball joints and 2 of tie rods and they are being recalled. WOW!
Name another company that would even think of doing this? I didn't think so
