CFMOTO 2024 CFORCE All-Terrain Vehicles Recalled for Throttle Failure Crash Hazard

CFMOTO is recalling about 2,650 of its 2024 CFORCE 800 Touring and 2024 CFORCE 1000 Touring ATVs because the throttle lever can fail to return to idle, causing unexpected acceleration and crash risk. One minor injury has been reported.

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: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product defect (uncontrolled acceleration and crash hazard) where injury has not yet been widely reported. One minor impact injury is documented, but the hazard presents significant risk of crashes. This meets the High criterion of risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been substantially reported.

Plain-English summary

CFMOTO Powersports Inc. is recalling approximately 2,650 units of the 2024 CFORCE 800 Touring and 2024 CFORCE 1000 Touring all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The vehicles were sold in gray, orange, black, and camouflage colors through CFMOTO Powersports dealers nationwide from May 2024 through August 2024 at prices ranging from $9,400 to $10,500.

The throttle lever on the recalled ATVs can fail to return to the idle position when a driver releases it. This defect causes the vehicle to unexpectedly continue accelerating, posing a crash hazard.

CFMOTO has received four reports of the throttle failing to return to idle, including one report of a vehicle crash with one minor impact injury.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact an authorized CFMOTO dealer to schedule a free repair. CFMOTO has issued a stop ride notice to all consumers and is contacting registered owners and dealers directly.
