Source: CPSC Recall #02507
Recall Date
2001-11-15
Manufacturer
Suzuki Motor Corporation of Brea, Calif.
Units Affected
Approximately 4,000
Products Involved
2002 Suzuki "Eiger" LT-F400K2 and LT-F400FK2 ATVs
Hazard
The nut that secures the LT-F400K2 and LT-F400FK2 clutch shoe will come loose during operation. When the nut loosens, the clutch shoe will become loose on the crankshaft. In some cases this will cause severe damage to the clutch wheel and crankshaft or can cause the crankshaft to break. This will interrupt power transfer from the engine to the transmission and the drive wheels and may leave the rider stranded away from his or her base of operation.
Remedy
Consumers should contact their local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for their ATV to be inspected and repaired. The inspection and repair will be performed at no cost.
Reported Injuries
None reported.
Sold At
Suzuki dealers nationwide sold these ATVs, from September through mid-October 2001, for between $4,199 and $4,999.
