On certain ATVs, the rear control arm (A-arm) mounting brackets on the frame could crack. If this happens, a rear A-arm could separate from the frame.
Safety Risk
A rear control arm separation could cause a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions
Textron will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your ATV to a dealership to inspect the rear upper A-arm mounting brackets and install a support bracket. If the A-arm mounting brackets are cracked, the frame will be repaired. To reduce the safety risk, Textron advises that you should inspect the rear upper A-arm mount periodically, and stop using your ATV immediately if you see any cracks.
