The Record of West Virginia reports that Brian Shears has filed a lawsuit in federal court against Yamaha, alleging his minor daughter was seriously injured after the four-wheeler in which she was riding flipped over in 2006. “The Yamaha Rhino is more narrow than most vehicles in its class, being designed to fit in a pickup truck bed as a convenience to consumers,” the suit states. “Such convenience was achieved through designing the vehicle with a narrow track width, greatly decreasing the vehicle’s stability characteristics.”
