What this means for you
Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: Although no illnesses or injuries have been reported, the source explicitly identifies a "risk of serious injury or death" from vehicles that fail to meet mandatory federal safety standards, including brake failure, excessive speed capability for the intended age group, and laceration hazards. This constitutes a significant injury-risk product that meets the Severe criteria.
Plain-English summary
EGL Motor Inc. is recalling approximately 500 EGL and ACE-branded youth all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), models MADIX 110 and B125, due to violations of the federal mandatory ATV safety standard. The recalled vehicles were sold nationwide through authorized dealerships including AWL Distribution and BV Powersports from May 2020 through September 2020, priced between $550 and $670.
The ATVs have three specific safety defects. The B125 models exceed the maximum speed limitations established for vehicles intended for children aged 10 and older. The MADIX 110 model's parking brakes fail to prevent vehicle movement. Additionally, the handlebars on both ATV models pose a laceration hazard if the rider's body or head impacts them at high speed during a crash.
No injuries have been reported as of the recall date. Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact EGL Motor to schedule a free repair at an authorized repair shop. The repair will include installation of reflectors, headlights, and a chest protector, as well as repairs to the parking brake, speed capability, and spark arrestor.
