| 0 comments

Recall Date: April 27, 2023

Recall number: 23-191

Recall Summary

Name of Product: EGL Motor ACE-branded Youth All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs)

Hazard: The recalled ATVs fail to comply with the requirements of the federal mandatory ATV safety standard. The Ace-branded K125 and C125 models exceed the maximum speed limitations for vehicles intended for children aged 10 and older, posing a risk of high-speed crash. For T125 and C125 models, the parking brakes do not prevent movement of the vehicle, posing a collision hazard to consumers if the vehicle is parked on an incline. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety requirements pose a risk of serious injury or death.

Remedy: Repair

Consumer Contact: EGL Motor toll-free at 866-496-9919 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday, by email at service@eglmotor.us or online at https://www.eglmotor.us/recall.html or www.eglmotor.us and click on “RECALL” at the top of the page for more information.
