We live up in the mountains, and yes there has been places we couldn’t atemp and we new that! ITS CALLED TAKE A DIFFENT ROUTE! And ruff places take your time ITS NOT A RACE!! We have used ours for everything from loading wood to yard work, and hunting. Do not continue to drive the Yamaha Rhino RUV while these questions remain unanswered.

Please be aware that there are other safety features and design elements in question. Some Rhino owners may have opted to fix the faulty brake caliper mentioned in the original press release. However, due to a faulty brake caliper on the 2008 Yamaha Rhino YXR450 AND YXR700 RUVs (which sparked the recall), and alleged design flaws (too top heavy wheels that are too small, etc.) these heavy-duty machines can rollover even at low speeds and on flat surfaces. Sadly, some of these Rhino rollovers and injuries resulted in badly injured children.įamilies often chose the Yamaha Rhino because side-by-side ATVs are supposed to be safer than traditional “four-wheeler” ATVs. Many of the Rhino rollovers involve broken or crushed bones, some even requiring amputation of limbs. Several personal injury attorneys have since notified us that the injuries resulting from these side-by-side rollovers are quite serious, including at least two deaths.

We first reported on the Yamaha Rhino recall by publishing a March press release from the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC). However, some people who have changed addresses or purchased a used Yamaha Rhino may still not be aware of this potentially dangerous recall. Yamaha has sent direct mail notifications to owners of the recalled Rhino side-by-side recreational utility vehicle (RUV).
