Yamaha has announced it is recalling certain model year 2005 and 2006 ATV models sold in the US because the protective “boots” covering the steering system’s tie-rod ends (universal joints) could be pinched during installation or adjustment, cutting a hole in the rubber. If this occurs, grease could escape, and contaminants such as sand or mud could get into the assembly through the hole, causing accelerated wear. This could result in “abnormal” steering free play. If the ATV continues to be operated without repair, the ball and socket portion of the tie-rod end could wear to the point that they separate, resulting in loss of steering control, which could cause a vehicle crash with injury or death.
About 70,000 potential Yamaha ATV lemon vehicles are involved in the recall.
Calling it a problem with “boots” might be a little misleading, however, since it does not really sound as serious as the problem might be if it happens to you.
If the steering goes out it could easily lead to a serious accident or injury or even death.
