Summary

Kawasaki is expanding its recall of approximately 19,500 Teryx and Teryx4 recreational off-highway vehicles because debris like sticks can break through the floor boards. This defect has resulted in 628 incident reports, including eight reports of injuries to riders' legs and feet. The recall includes 2012–2013 Teryx4 750 models and 2014–2016 Teryx 800 and Teryx4 800 models sold in various colors at Kawasaki dealers nationwide from November 2011 through November 2015. Kawasaki is providing free repairs to install protective floor board guards.

Risk

Sticks or other trail debris can pierce the vehicle's floor board and enter the passenger compartment. This poses a serious puncture or impact injury hazard to the legs and feet of the operator and front passenger.

What You Should Do

  1. Check the driver's side of the hood or the front fenders to find the model name. Affected models include the Teryx4 750 4x4 (2012-2013), Teryx 800 4x4 (2014-2016), and Teryx4 800 4x4 (2014-2016).
  2. Identify your vehicle style and color. Teryx4 750 (2012-2013) comes in blue, camo, green, yellow, red, black, or white. Teryx4 800 (2014-2016) comes in green, camo, yellow, orange, white, red, or gray. Teryx 800 (2014-2016) comes in camo, green, blue, white, black, or gray.
  3. Immediately stop using the recalled vehicles until they have been repaired.
  4. Contact an authorized Kawasaki dealer to schedule a free repair, which includes the installation of floor board guards and the replacement of any existing damaged floor boards.
  5. If your vehicle was previously repaired for a similar issue, contact your Kawasaki dealer again as you must receive this additional floor board guard repair.
