Affected products
2015 | YAMAHA | VIKING VI
Issue
On certain Viking VI side-by-side ATV’s equipped with steel wheels, the rear wheel nuts could potentially loosen over time due to an incorrect taper specification of the steel rear wheel where the wheel nuts contact the inner wheel panel. If this were to occur, the rear wheels could loosen and cause a wobble from the rear end. This could affect vehicle handling, and in some cases lead to the rear wheels separating, which could lead to a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace both steel rear wheels with new ones that have the correct taper specification.
