1999–1999

On certain ATV's, if the steering wheel is turned to the full-lock position, the shock of striking an object with one of the front wheels can fracture the front steering knuckle even if the vehicle speed is not excessive. The fracture occurs between the junction with the steering tie rod and the wheel, and will result in loss of steering control to one front wheel of the vehicle. Correction: Upper steering stop bolts will be replaced with rubber dampers. Some models will receive a modification to the lower steering stop mounting bracket if they are so equipped.
