EGL Motor has issued a recall of about 4,000 of its ACE-branded Youth ATV, as they violate federal safety standards and can pose a risk of injury or death.
The recall was published on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) website April 27. It applies to EGL Motor’s ACE-branded Youth ATVs, models K125, T125 and C125.
According to the recall, the ATVs fail to comply with the requirements of the federal mandatory ATV safety standard.
The Ace-branded K125 and C125 models exceed the maximum speed limitations for vehicles intended for children age 10 and older, posing a risk of high-speed crash.
For T125 and C125 models, the parking brakes do not prevent movement of the vehicle, posing a collision hazard to consumers if the vehicle is parked on an incline, the recall states.
“ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety requirements pose a risk of serious injury or death.”
Contact EGL for a free repair
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact EGL Motor to schedule an appointment for a free repair from an authorized repair shop, the recall states.
The firm will repair reflectors, headlights, the chest protector, the engine stop switch, the parking brake, maximum speed limits and spark arrestor on the recalled models.
No injuries have been reported so far, the recall states. The company is not facing legal action over the recall, but Top Class Actions follows recalls closely as they sometimes lead to class action lawsuits.
The recalled ATVs were sold at AWL Distribution, BV Powersports, and other authorized dealerships nationwide and online at Dmwholesalepowersports.com, Jaguarpowersports.com Jlmotorsports.com, Powersportsmaxatvs.com, Gokartsusa.com, Saferwholesale.com, Thriftscooters.com and Wholesaleatv.com from May 2020 through March 2022 for between $550 and $2,800.
Meanwhile, Textron Specialized Vehicles have recalled Arctic Cat Alterra 600 and Tracker 600 all-terrain vehicles due to a faulty A-arm.
