Hazard

On some units, the nut which secures the front upper suspension arm pivot bolt could come loose during vehicle use. Continued use of the vehicle could allow the nut to come off, and the upper suspension A-arm pivot bolt to back partially out. This would result in a loss of steering control, and possibly cause the rider to crash and suffer injury or death.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using the ATVs immediately and contact their Kawasaki dealer to schedule an appointment for a free inspection and repair.

Incidents & injuries

Kawasaki has received 14 reports of incidents, with three minor injuries reported at this time.

"VTwin 750" is printed on each side of the rear fenders, and "Kawasaki" is embossed on the front grille and rear mud flaps above the rear wheels.
