The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has recently announced a recall for a popular youth ATV model. Specifically designed for 10-year-olds, this CFMOTO Youth All Terrain Vehicle has come under scrutiny due to safety concerns. The MY2022 CF110AY models in Baja Blue and Red Rocket have been found to have a potential issue with the throttle, prompting the urgent recall.
According to the ACCC, the throttle limiting adjustment screw on these models may not have been properly adjusted during manufacturing. This could result in the throttle becoming stuck open, causing the ATV to accelerate without any input from the rider. This poses a serious risk of injury or even death, as the rider may lose control of the vehicle or be unable to stop it.
CFMOTO, the manufacturer of the ATV, recommends a minimum age of 10 years old for riding this particular model. However, due to the potential safety concerns, the ACCC urges all owners of this ATV to stop using it immediately and contact their nearest dealer for a free replacement of the impacted part. This recall applies to all units sold by authorised CFMOTO dealers nationwide between January 1 2022 and December 31 2022.
For concerned consumers, a full list of the affected Vehicle Identification Numbers can be found on the product safety website. It is important to take action promptly to ensure the safety of all riders, especially young ones.
