Plain-English summary

Arctic Cat Inc. is recalling approximately 1,500 2007 model 90cc DVX and Utility youth All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). The recall covers specific VIN ranges for both the DVX and Utility models, which are designed for operators 12 years old and older. These vehicles were sold at Arctic Cat dealerships nationwide from August 2006 through January 2007 for approximately $2,200.

The recall is due to a manufacturing defect where the handlebar base mounting bolts, tie-rod ends, and tie-rod adjustment locking nuts may not have been tightened to the proper torque. If these components loosen during operation, the rider could lose steering control, potentially leading to a crash and injury or death. Arctic Cat has not received any reports of loose steering components or injuries related to this condition.

Consumers should stop using these ATVs immediately. Registered owners have been notified by mail. Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Arctic Cat ATV dealer to schedule a free repair.
