Yesterday the Associated Press reported all Yamaha Rhino 450 and 660 model vehicles were recalled for repairs designed to prevent accidents resulting in 46 deaths and hundreds of injuries between the fall of 2003, when the vehicles were first distributed, through the present.
More than two-thirds of the incidents were rollovers. According to the CPSC many of the incidents involved turns on level ground at relatively slow speeds. A number of incidents did involve riders not wearing safety belts.
The repairs are designed to reduce rollover risk, as well as to improve handling and keep riders’ limbs inside the vehicles.
Rhino 450 and 660 owners should stop using these vehicles and call their local dealer to schedule an appointment for repairs.
Sales of these vehicles have been suspended to conduct repairs. This represents the first government recall of this category of rv. If you or anyone you know has been injured as a result of one these models, feel free to contact us at any time.
