Ricky Powersports ATVs Recalled for Safety Regulation Violations

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Although no injuries or deaths have been reported, the source text explicitly states the safety defects pose "a risk of serious injury or death" and constitute violations of federal mandatory ATV safety regulations. The combination of structural/mechanical safety failures on both models that create crash hazards and the specific mention of injury risk meets the criteria for Severe (Score 4).

Plain-English summary

Ricky Powersports LLC is recalling Tumble Weed youth ATVs (model TK-110ATV-1) and TGB Blade 600 SE adult ATVs. Approximately 385 units were sold nationwide through Ricky Powersports dealers between January 2021 and May 2024. The youth models were priced between $850 and $1,100, and the adult models cost approximately $9,300.

The recalled ATVs fail to meet federal mandatory ATV safety regulations. The youth ATVs have mechanical suspension defects that create a crash hazard. The adult ATVs have service brake defects that prevent the vehicle from stopping sufficiently, posing a crash hazard. Additionally, the adult ATV handlebars pose a laceration hazard if the rider's body or head impacts them. These safety defects create a risk of serious injury or death.

The youth Tumble Weed ATVs, intended for children ages 6 and older, were sold in burgundy, purple camo, red spider, blue, black, blue spider, black spider, pink camo, leaf camo, and army green camo colors. The model number is printed on an identification plate at the front of the vehicle between the two front tires. The adult TGB Blade 600 SE ATVs, intended for users ages 16 and older, were sold in black, with the model number on a plate next to the front right tire.

Consumers should stop using the recalled ATVs immediately and contact Ricky Powersports for a full refund.
