Summary
CPSC records recall 04584, published September 22, 2004. Recalling firm: Bombardier Recreational Products Inc., of Valcourt, Quebec, Canada; Reported units: About 23,000.
What's the hazard
Front brake hose can be pulled out of its retaining brackets on either side of the ATV by foreign objects. This can cause the brake hose to wear by rubbing on the inner wheel or shock absorber spring seat, ultimately causing a brake fluid leak, resulting in a complete loss of front braking capacity. This can lead to an increase in the braking distance and possible collision with bystanders, fixed objects, or other vehicles, causing serious injury or death.
