On Monday, August 29, 2011, at approximately 2214 hours, Death Investigation Specialist [REDACTED] (License No. [REDACTED]) was contacted by Coroner [REDACTED] of the Carroll County Coroner's Office [REDACTED] regarding the death of [REDACTED]. [REDACTED] is described as a 32 year old white male. Coroner [REDACTED] provided the following information surrounding the death: On today's date, the decedent was the passenger on a four wheeler with his fiancé and 13 year old son. The 13 year old individual was the driver of the vehicle. For an unknown reason, the driver lost control and ran off the roadway and landed in a ditch. The decedent was ejected from the vehicle. 9-1-1 was contacted and upon EMS arrival, resuscitative measures were performed. The decedent was transported to Tanner Medical center; however, was DOA. The decedent was pronounced on 8/29/11 at 2047 by [REDACTED]. The decedent was clothed in a blue/black/white shirt and shorts. The decedent was found lying in a supine position. The decedent sustained multiple blunt force injuries. All injuries were documented at the hospital. According to the coroner, the decedent was estimated to have stood 5'8" in height and weighed 175lbs. The weather conditions were hot and dry. Visibility was clear. The speed limit posted and the speed of the vehicle was unknown at this time of the report. The decedent was wearing a helmet. At this time of the report, alcohol and illicit drugs were not suspected. The coroner did not have information regarding the investigating officer's name or case number; he was instructed to contact this office when that information became available. [REDACTED] was consulted and deemed a postmortem examination by this office was not warranted.

My wife and I were out traveling on dirt roads through the Eldorado National Forest on Aug. 17 2013 when I started to here a clunking sound from the front end of the Polaris 550 . { We had just purchased the quad a few weeks before and already have had the quad out on a previous trip a week before without any problems. When I bought the quad I noticed that the quad had a few A arm bushings that were [worn] and needed to be replaced but were not bad enough to be replaced as of yet.) When I heard the sound I thought that maybe it was a bushing starting to make noise. Is we got closer to our staging point back at the truck when the noise started getting louder and louder. We made it to the truck OK and loaded the quads on the trailer. The first chance I got I inspected the front end for a bad bushing but found out instead that it was the front left hand Ball joint had completely come loose from the steering knuckle and almost came apart which if it would have happened on the trail would have left me injured, stranded or dead. I found out about the Recall {alert #1 Q-713) and contacted the Polaris dealer they did research and found that the recall had already been done to this quad. I took the quad to the Polaris dealer and they contacted Polaris to see if they would replace it again and the said NO. This is a part that should NEVER come apart period. End of Story It looks like there fix was not a fix but a Band-Aid and someone is going to get injured, stranded or killed if this part isn't made so it will never come apart. Lucky I did not crash. We purchased a Polaris Sportsman XP 550 quad from a private party with 1100 miles on it several weeks ago. When we bought the quad I noticed that it had a few A arm bushings that were [worn] but not bad enough to be replaced as of yet. Also, the clutch wouldn’t kick in until 2500 rpm which would make the quad lunge on takeoff. On our first trip we had no problems with the steering or the front end. To learn more about the

I own a 2012 Can Am 800 Xmr mud. I recently discovered a crack in the frame under the seat. I haven't crashed it or ridden it unduely hard so believe it's a manufacturing flaw. What recourse do I have? Who should I contact about this? Have you heard of this being a problem with other Can Am ATV's? Otherwise it's a great machine and am very happy with it.

2019 Polaris Scrambler 850 catches fire

The purpose of my letter is to bring to your attention a life-threatening issue involving the 2008 Honda 250TRX EX Quad (four-wheeled), off-road all-terrain vehicle (ATV). I am currently serving as an expert witness for[REDACTED] in her design defect law suit against Honda, the result of a tragic accident on February 29, 2016, that was easily preventable. [REDACTED], a twenty-four year old female and her boyfriend, [REDACTED], had recently discovered that she was pregnant with his baby and planned a weekend away to discuss future plans for marriage and their new life together. Upon arrival in Julian, California they decided to purchase Groupon tickets for a day of riding all terrain off-road vehicles. The salesperson at San Diego Motorsports suggested that [REDACTED] rent the 250TRX EX which is equipped with a sport clutch, which is essentially an automatic clutch, although it still requires left foot shiftting of the gear by lifting your left toe, pivoting at the arch for higher gears and stepping down on the foot activated shift lever for lower gears. On their rented ATV's the two rode out into the desert from San Diego Motorsports, enjoying their day, when the right rear wheel of her vehicle went down into a divot, or small hole in the dirt, her right foot bounced off the foot peg and was immediately sucked into, and under, the right rear tire and wheel of the ATV. Given the speed she was travelling, 5 to 10 miles per hour, it is estimated that it took 1/10th of a second to pull her foot into the right rear tire. Her right shoe was literally torn off her foot, thrown 30 feet from the ATV, she was catapulted over the handle bars, her head hit an embankment and she landed on her back, forever paralyzed from the neck down. Today, [REDACTED] is twenty-six years old, living with her mother and her two year old son. She never realized her dream of being married and having a family and living a "normal" life. The Honda

DRIVING ALONG 25 MPH ON MY 2023 (manufactured 5-2022) ARGO XRT 570 and it just stops running, motor dies like you turn the key switch off or depress the kill switch. Has happen going slow through the woods also. Has also went back to dealer for gas line recall in which the stall factor was supposed to be fixed beforehand. VERY dangerous to have this happen while riding. I know.
