2005–2006 Yamaha Kodiak 450 (Yfm45fat) Recall

On certain ATV's, the protective boots covering the steering system's tie-rod ends could be pinched during installation or operation, cutting a hole in the rubber. If this occurs, grease could escape from and contaminants such as sand or mud could get into the assembly through the hole, causing accelerated wear. If the ATV continues to be operated without repair, there is the potential that the ball and socket could wear to the point that they separate, resulting in loss of steering control. Correction: Dealers will install updated tie rods.
