Yamaha ATV Rhino Accidents
and Rhino Rollovers - Warning Letter from Yamaha
Rhino ATV Warning from Yamaha
Motor Corporation U.S.A.
In
a statement issued in September of 2006
to its customers, Yamaha Motor Corporation
stated:
September
11, 2006
Dear
Rhino Owner:
Your
Rhino side-by-side vehicle was designed to
be a very capable off-road vehicle with a
wide variety of potential uses.
Regardless
of how you use your Rhino, please remember
that both the driver and the passenger must
always buckle the seat belt when riding in
the vehicle. Also the driver and passenger
must wear an approved off-road motorcycle-type
helmet that fits properly.
As with
any off-road capable vehicle, there is a
risk of tip over or rollover under certain
conditions. Uneven terrain or slopes which
pitch the vehicle sideways, turning too fast
or sharp, or a combination of conditions
increase the risk of tip over.
As your
Owner's Manuel describes, "If the vehicle
starts to tip, gradually steer in the downhill
direction if there are no obstacles in your
path. As you regain proper balance, gradually
steer again in the direction you want to
go."
However,
if you are in a situation where the vehicle
is tipping over, do not put your arm or leg
outside the vehicle to try to stop it. You
could be severely injured. You could suffer
a crushed hard, arm, leg, or foot, if part
of your body is caught underneath the vehicle.
You must keep your arms and legs inside the
vehicle until it has stopped moving.
To help
remind you and other operators or passengers
in your Rhino of this important information,
Yamaha has prepared new warning labels, one
for each side of the enclosure. We recommend
you install these labels on your Rhino or
have your authorized Yamaha dealer install
them for you. An illustration of the proper
location is provided on the back of this
letter.
We are
concerned about your safety and continued
satisfaction with our products. Thank you
for giving your attention to this important
matter.
Sincerely,
Customer Support Group
Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A.
We will promptly review your case without charge or obligation on your part. We can assist you in recovering damages for your pain and suffering along with past and future medical expenses.
