The Desert Sun of Palm Springs, California, reported that Juan Carlos Camarillo, 31, of Garden Grove, California, was driving a Yamaha Rhino when he lost control of the vehicle, which rolled, ejecting and killing him.
Earlier this year, following multiple fatal rollover accidents involving Yamaha Rhinos and an investigation by the Consumer Products Safety Commission, Yamaha offered to retrofit all Rhinos on the market and suspended sales of the vehicles.
This offer is not worldwide. In Australia, it has been reported that Yamaha is “so confident its Rhino utility-terrain vehicle will be used responsibly” that is has decided against offering free repairs deemed essential by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
