Kawasaki Brute Force™ 750 4x4i All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

CPSC Recall #05-545 — February 27, 2005

Recall #05-545 Date: February 27, 2005 Remedy: Repair

Product

Kawasaki Brute Force™ 750 4x4i All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)

Description

The recalled Kawasaki ATVs include the Brute Force™ 750 4x4i model, which was manufactured between April 26, 2004 and September 10, 2004. The ATVs come in red, green, yellow or camouflage, and have the words "Kawasaki" and "Brute Force" printed on each side of the vehicle's fuel tank. "VTwin 750" is printed on each side of the rear fenders, and "Kawasaki" is embossed on the front grille and rear mud flaps above the rear wheels.

Hazard

On some units, the nut which secures the front upper suspension arm pivot bolt could come loose during vehicle use. Continued use of the vehicle could allow the nut to come off, and the upper suspension A-arm pivot bolt to back partially out. This would result in a loss of steering control and possibly cause the rider to crash and suffer injury or death.

Consumers should stop using the ATVs immediately and contact their Kawasaki dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair.
