The defect
Rocky Mountain ATV/MC, Inc. (RMATV) is recalling certain Tusk 2Track Adventure rear motorcycle tires, size 150/70B-18. The tread layer was improperly cured, which can result in sections of tread detaching from the tire.
The risk
Tread detachment can cause a loss of vehicle handling and control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy
RMATV will mail customers the replacement tires, free of charge. RMATV will provide a cash value debit card to the owners of the subject tires to cover the cost of mounting and balancing the remedy tires. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed May 15, 2024. Owners may contact RMATV customer service at 1-800-966-1852 or email recall@rockymountainatv.com.
