Yamaha is recalling about 820 of its model year 2021 Wolverine RMAX4 1000 recreational off-highway vehicles because the rear shock absorber mounts can break while in use. Yamaha has received one report of a shock absorber breaking loose, which can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. These side-by-side vehicles were sold in blue, green, and gray at Yamaha dealers nationwide from October 2020 through December 2020. Yamaha is offering a free repair to all affected owners.
The rear shock absorber mounts can fail and break, causing the suspension to collapse or the driver to lose steering control, which creates a high risk of a crash and serious injury. One incident of a shock absorber breaking loose has already been reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ROVs and contact an authorized Yamaha dealer to schedule a free repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
