Turns out that the handlebar base mounting bolts, tie-rod ends and tie-rod adjustment locking nuts on the recalled Atv’s may not have been tightened to the proper torque during the production process. According to safety officials at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, driving the ATV could cause parts to come loose and that can send you tumbling if you lose steering control.

The recall includes 2007 model 90cc DVX youth model ATVs with a VIN between RFB07ATV07K6F0243 through RFB07ATVX7K6F0752, and 90cc Utility youth model ATVs with a VIN between RFB07ATV07K6D1367 through RFB07ATVX7K6D2400.

These ATV’s are intended for used by drivers that are under 12 years old. The 90cc DVX model was being made in Lime Green or Red, and had the model name DVX 90 on each side of the fuel tank, and the name “Arctic Cat” on each side of the seat. The 90cc Utility model was made in Marsh Green or Red, and has the name Arctic Cat on each side of the fuel tank and 90 on each side panel, near the driver’s leg position.

The units were manufactured in Taiwan and sold by Arctic Cat dealerships nationwide from August 2006 through January 2007 for about $2,200.

If Arctic Cat isn’t careful, it could steer its way into a financial disaster.
