Plain-English summary
American Suzuki Motor Corp. is recalling approximately 3,400 2004-2005 Suzuki LT-V700F TwinPeaks™ All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). These vehicles are yellow or blue and have "TwinPeaks" written on the fuel tank. The ATVs were sold at Suzuki dealerships nationwide from December 2003 to July 2005 for about $7,100.
The recall is due to a defect where a significant impact to the front wheel, while the steering is fully turned to either side, can result in suspension damage and wear. This condition can eventually lead to a loss of steering control, which could result in injury or death. American Suzuki Motor Corp. has received seven reports of ball joint separation, but no injuries have been reported.
