Experts have questioned the safety of the Yamaha Rhino since its release. In August 2007, Yamaha announced that it would add doors and passenger handles to vehicles manufactured after 2004, but stopped short of issuing a recall of the Rhino.
At the same time , Yamaha issued a new product warning label for the Yamaha Rhino that acknowledged the risk of rollover accidents and alerts users that the Rhino can rollover even while operating the vehicle on flat, open areas.
In spite of its knowledge of serious injuries resulting from rollover accidents, Yamaha has not announced a recall of the Rhino all-terrain vehicle. |
