Textron Specialized Vehicles is recalling about 1,100 Bad Boy XTO and Bone Collector XTO model off-road utility vehicles because they lack seat belts. This defect poses a severe safety risk to the driver and passengers in the event of an accident or rollover. Two serious incidents have been reported, including the tragic death of a 14-year-old male passenger and a serious leg injury to an adult operator. The vehicles were sold in various colors including camouflage, black, white, forest green, flame red, and patriot blue at Bad Boy dealers nationwide between November 2010 and June 2013.
The absence of seat belts means that operators and passengers are not secured within the vehicle during a collision or rollover, which can lead to being thrown from the vehicle or crushed beneath it. This has already resulted in one reported fatality and one major leg injury.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Textron Specialized Vehicles or an authorized dealer for a free installation of seat belts.
