KYMCO is recalling about 1,700 UXV 450i utility vehicles from model years 2015 and 2016 because the throttle can fail to return to its idle position. This defect can cause the rider to lose control of the vehicle, which has already led to seven reported incidents of throttle failure. The recalled units were sold in various colors including blue, camouflage, matte black, gold, green, red, and black between June 2014 and November 2015. Consumers should contact an authorized KYMCO dealer for a free inspection and repair.
The throttle mechanism can malfunction and fail to slow the engine down when released, preventing the vehicle from returning to a safe idle speed. This unexpected acceleration or inability to slow down can cause the driver to lose control and crash, potentially resulting in serious injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles and contact an authorized KYMCO dealer for a free inspection and free repair. KYMCO is contacting consumers directly.
