Product
2002 Kawasaki "Bayou" ATVs | The Kawasaki "Bayou 200, 300, 300 (4x4)" is a four-wheel ATV with a manual transmission. The recalled ATVs are model numbers KLF220A-15, KLF300-B15, and KLF300-C14. They have "Kawasaki" and "Bayou" written on both sides of the bodywork, roughly inboard of the operator's knee location.
Reason
The rear wheel hubs, in the case of the KLF220 and KLF300-B, and the front and rear wheel hubs of the KLF300-C, are held to their respective axles by a castellated nut, that is secured to the axle with a specified torque, then locked in place by a cotter pin. On a limited number of the affected models, the axle nut was not tightened to the proper torque before the cotter pin was inserted. The cotter pin or axle nut failure could cause the hub to come off of the axle shaft, creating the potential for an incident, resulting in injury or death to the rider.
