Unfortunately, a number of ATVs have been recalled for problems with steering control, a problem which has caused numerous individuals to be injured in an accident. Among the most serious and common types of ATV accidents caused by steering control or other defects is rollover accidents.

Steering Loss Recalls
A number of models have been recalled for steering control loss.

Recent recalls for steering control loss include:
- Honda TRX500, Model year 2008
- 2006-2008 Model Year MXU 500
- Polaris Model Year 2006 Hawkeye

When these vehicles cause a rider to have less steering control and cause them to rollover, the consequences can be severe and may include broken and fractured bones, head injuries, lacerations, and more.
