Yamaha has recalled approximately 500 model year 2022 Viking and Viking VI Off-Road Side-by-Side vehicles. These three-passenger and six-passenger utility vehicles were sold in Copper Metallic, Hunter Green, and Tactical Green colors. Improperly installed retaining bolts can cause the parking brake to fail, allowing the vehicle to roll away unexpectedly while parked. Yamaha is providing a free inspection and repair for all affected vehicles.
The parking brake mechanism may fail to hold the vehicle in place when parked, allowing it to move unintentionally. This poses a significant crash and injury hazard to the operator, passengers, and bystanders. No incidents or injuries have been reported to date.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact Yamaha Motor Corporation U.S.A. for a free inspection and repair. Yamaha is contacting all registered owners directly.
