Honda recalls 200,000 ATVs with defective steering rods
WASHINGTON Honda is recalling about 200-thousand all-terrain vehicles after receiving more than two dozen reports of defective steering rods.
The callback involves Honda's 2004 and 2005 FourTrax A-T-V's. The complaints concern steering rods separating, which could cause drivers to crash.
But the Consumer Product Safety Commission says so far the company has not received any injury reports.
Honda motorcycle dealers nationwide sold the A-T-V's from August 2003 to February 2005. They came in red, olive, yellow or blue. Consumers are being urged to stop riding the A-T-V's. The C-P-S-C says the company will directly contact registered owners and provide free repair.
Recalled model numbers:
_2005 TRX250TE/TM
_2004-2005 TRX350FE/FM/TE/TM
_2004-2005 TRX400FA/FGA
_2005 TRX500FE/FM/TM
_2005 TRX500FA/FGA
_2005 TRX650FA/FGA
More information is available by calling Honda at 866-784-1870, weekdays 11:30 a.m.-8 p.m. EDT.
