Yamaha Rhino 450 Recall, Yamaha Rhino 660 Recall

This unofficial word just in:

Yamaha Motor Corp. issued a recall of more than 120,000 Yahama Rhino ATVs today. All Rhino 450 and 660 model vehicles are being recalled for repairs intended to prevent accidents that have resulted in 46 confirmed deaths and hundreds of injuries. These Yamaha Rhinos suffer from inherent design flaws that make them unstable and susceptible to low-speed rollovers.

Official notice from federal safety investigators is expected to follow. For now, if you've got a dangerous Yamaha all terrain vehicle, be careful. Life is too short to put up with a bad Atv.
