All-Terrain Vehicle (ATV)
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
American Honda is recalling certain 2012 Honda FourTrax Rancher ATVs because a weld on the front suspension arms can separate, which could cause the driver to lose control and crash. The recall affects two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive TRX420 models in red, green, or camouflage colors, identifiable by "Honda" and the Honda wing logo on the fuel tank sides and "Rancher" text on the front cowl and left rear fender. Specific VIN ranges are affected across multiple model variants (FA, FE, FM, FPA, FPE, FPM, TE, and TM), which consumers can verify by locating the VIN on the top center front of the frame.
According to the recall, consumers should immediately stop using these ATVs and contact their Honda ATV dealer to schedule a free repair. American Honda is contacting customers directly about the recall.
