Hazard

Water can enter the throttle lever case and freeze, causing the throttle lever to become stuck and fail to automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle. If the throttle lever does not automatically return to the idle position when the rider releases the throttle, the ATV will not slow down as the rider expects. The rider could lose control of the ATV and an accident resulting in injury or death could occur.

Remedy

Consumers should stop using these ATVs immediately and contact a local Suzuki dealer to schedule an appointment for repair service.

Incidents & injuries

Suzuki has received two reported incidents of the throttle sticking. One minor injury reported.
