Title: Recall Kawasaki brute force 750 4x4
Post by: needforspeed on January 11, 2006, 06:00:27 AM
Taken from Motorcyle Industry News - In cooperation with the consumer product safety board, kawasaki has initied a "volunteer safety recall campaign to replace the steering tie-rod ends on 2005 brute force 750 4x4i models." according to the kawaski news release. On the effected units kawaksi say, "a tie-rod could seperate during operation, due to either wear or impact, leading to the loss of steering control and create the potential for an accident resulting in injury or death. Kawaski urges the consumers with the affected vehicles " are cautioned not to operate them, and to contact an authorized kawaski dealer for repairs at no charge." For more information contact Dealer Tech Support Hotline 800-854-3800, or consumer services 800-802-9381 or www.kawasaki.com.

I got a notice two weeks ago from Kaw about this.  In the notice it states they will start notifing people when the parts come in should you opt for the recall.
I guess it's better than a sharp stick in the eye...

I recently sold my Brute Force, for a Bomb 800 xt. I went through 3 tie rods in a year before that. They are a very inexpensive part, but when they bend or brake it sure is a long ride back to camp. I told my dealer  that I thought there was a problem with these and they kept insisting that I was hitting things, but they fixed it anyway. good luck to all brute force owners in getting a good part so this is not a problem for you!
