Plain-English summary
Kawasaki USA is recalling approximately 2,000 model year 2012 Teryx recreational off-highway vehicles. The affected vehicles are four-wheel recreational off-highway vehicles with side-by-side seating for two people and automobile-style controls. Specific model types include the Teryx 750 FI 4x4, Teryx 750 FI 4x4 LE, Teryx 750 FI 750 4x4 LE SGE, and Teryx 750 FI 4x4 Sport. The model type is printed on the hood of the vehicles, which are available in solid colors green, red, grey, silver, black, and camouflage (khaki).
The recall is being issued because the vehicles have been incorrectly labeled as having a higher occupant capacity than is safe. Operating the vehicle with additional occupants creates an injury or death hazard. The source text states that no injuries have been reported to date.
The vehicles were sold at Kawasaki dealers nationwide from August 2011 through March 2012 for between $10,600 and $12,000. Consumers will receive a replacement glove compartment cover stating the correct occupant capacity in the mail.
