SAFETY RECALL NOTICE
 
Dear Yamaha Rhino Owner:
 
While the Rhino has been a reliable and versatile vehicle, some operators have engaged in aggressive driving (such as sliding, skidding, fishtailing, or doing donuts) or made abrupt maneuvers (such as turning the steering wheel too far or too fast) that have resulted in side rollovers - even on flat, open areas. Unfortunately, some occupants have been seriously injured during such rollovers when they put their arms or legs outside the vehicle, resulting in crushing or other injuries.
 
Special Offer to Rhino Owners
Yamaha has developed new doors and additional passenger handholds for the Rhino. These new features, as shown in the enclosed guide, are designed to help keep occupants from sticking arms or legs out of the vehicle in response to a side rollover. They may also enhance passenger stability and comfort. You can find more information at www.yamaha-motor.com/rhino. Yamaha recommends that you have these doors and handholds installed on your Rhino.
All Rhino Owners Can Have These New Features Installed Free of Charge.
Please make an appointment with your Yamaha dealer to take advantage of this special offer.
 
You may be aware that a number of aftermarket companies are now offering doors, panels, bars, netting, or similar products for installation on Rhinos. Yamaha cannot investigate or endorse aftermarket companies' products with respect to quality, fit, or safety. We only recommend genuine Yamaha parts and accessories for your Rhino.
 
Put This New On-Product Label on Your Rhino
To promote awareness of the new free product features and to help reinforce safe and responsible use of the Rhino, Yamaha has developed the enclosed adhesive label. Please read it and follow the instructions below to put it on your vehicle.
