CFMOTO is recalling approximately 1,800 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) including the 2018 ZFORCE 500 Trail, 800 Trail, and 1000 SSV models. The recall was issued because the throttle pedal can be pushed past its stop and fail to return to the idle position, which can cause the vehicle to continue accelerating and lead to a crash. These 4-cycle engine vehicles were sold in red, blue, orange, and gray at dealers nationwide from January 2018 through July 2018. Owners can receive a free repair from any CFMOTO dealer.
The throttle pedal can become stuck in an open position after being depressed past the intended stop point, preventing the vehicle from returning to idle. This failure to decelerate creates an immediate risk of the operator losing control and crashing.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact a CFMOTO dealer to schedule a free repair. CFMOTO is contacting all registered owners directly.
