The issue

On certain ATV's, the protective boots covering the steering system's tie-rod ends could be pinched during installation or operation, cutting a hole in the rubber. If this occurs, grease could escape from and contaminants such as sand or mud could get into the assembly through the hole, causing accelerated wear. If the ATV continues to be operated without repair, there is the potential that the ball and socket could wear to the point that they separate, resulting in loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will install updated tie rods.

Description (français)

Sur certains VTT, les gaines couvrant les embouts de biellette de la direction pourraient avoir été écrasées pendant leur installation ou leur utilisation, ce qui aurait percé un trou dans le caoutchouc. Si cela se produisait, de la graisse pourrait s'échapper de la gaine et des contaminants comme le sable et la boue pourraient y pénétrer par le trou, ce qui provoquerait une usure accélérée. Si l'on continuait à utiliser le VTT sans le faire réparer, la sphère et l'embout femelle pourraient s'user au point de se séparer, ce qui provoquerait une perte de contrôle de la direction. Correction : Les concessionnaires devront installer des biellettes améliorées.
