The hazard
If the rider is ejected and the cord strap is pulled, the shutoff switch can fail to disable the engine. The ATV can operate uncontrolled, until the engine returns to idle, and cause a collision with bystanders, vehicles or other objects. This poses a serious risk of injury.
Incidents reported: None.
What to do now
Parents should stop children from using these vehicles immediately and contact any Can-Am® dealer to schedule a free repair. Consumers are being sent a direct notice from BRP.
Contact: For additional information, call BRP toll-free at (888) 638-5397 between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. ET Monday through Friday, or visit the firm's Web site at www.can-am.brp.com
