EGL Motor ACE Youth ATVs Fail Safety Standards; Risk of Injury or Death

EGL Motor is recalling about 4,000 ACE-branded youth all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) that fail federal safety standards. The K125 and C125 models exceed maximum speed limits, and the T125 and C125 models have faulty parking brakes, posing risks of high-speed crashes and collisions.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Although no injuries or deaths have been reported, the source text explicitly states that these vehicles pose "a risk of serious injury or death" due to failure to meet federal ATV safety standards—specifically excessive speed capability and faulty brakes on vehicles intended for children. This is a risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported, meeting the High (3) severity threshold per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

EGL Motor Inc. is recalling approximately 4,000 ACE-branded youth all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), models K125, T125, and C125. These vehicles were sold in various colors including orange, red, blue, pink, and green and marketed for children ages 10 and older from May 2020 through March 2022.

The recalled ATVs fail to comply with federal mandatory ATV safety standards. The K125 and C125 models exceed the maximum speed limitations for vehicles intended for children aged 10 and older, posing a risk of high-speed crash. The T125 and C125 models have parking brakes that do not prevent movement of the vehicle, posing a collision hazard if the vehicle is parked on an incline.

The vehicles were distributed through authorized dealerships nationwide and online retailers including AWL Distribution, BV Powersports, and online sites such as www.Dmwholesalepowersports.com, www.Jaguarpowersports.com, www.Jlmotorsports.com, www.Powersportsmaxatvs.com, www.Gokartsusa.com, www.Saferwholesale.com, www.Thriftscooters.com, and www.Wholesaleatv.com, with prices ranging from $550 to $2,800. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact EGL Motor toll-free at 866-496-9919 (9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday), by email at [email protected], or online at https://www.eglmotor.us/recall.html to schedule a free repair from an authorized repair shop.
