Arctic Cat is recalling approximately 700 model year 2018 Stampede and Rustler side-by-side utility vehicles because the lower front suspension arm can fail. This defect can cause a sudden loss of control, posing a serious crash hazard to the driver and passengers. The company has received four reports of front suspension arm failures, although no injuries or crashes have been reported to date. These vehicles were sold in various colors at Textron Off Road and Arctic Cat dealers between September 2017 and December 2018.
