NHTSA recall 09V162000
Steering · Bombardier Recreational Products, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: A condition may exist where the operator of an involved vehicle may need to exert a force greater than expected to initiate the turning of the steering handlebar off center in order to correct vehicle drift from a straight line path. This higher than expected steering control input torque may cause a steering angle overshoot and an unexpected deviation of the vehicle from the operator's intended path.
Why it matters: If this occurs, it can lead to a temporary out of lane excursion of the vehicle which increases the possibility of a crash with other traffic and or a drive off the road.
The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the appropriate components free of charge. The recall began on July 17, 2009.
