Many people confuse utility task vehicles (UTV) with all-terrain vehicles (ATV). ATVs are designed for a single rider. They are primarily used for recreation. UTVs, on the other hand, can seat 2-4 riders and are used for work and recreation. UTVs are also called “side-by-sides” (SxS).
The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued the April 11, 2024, recall because the universal joint can fail, severing the brake line and possibly resulting in a crash.
The recall includes about 19,264 units. This involves Intimidator and Mahindra models 750, 800, 1000, TGB, GC1K, and electric utility vehicles. The UTVs were sold in a variety of colors. The words “Intimidator” or “Mahindra” are displayed on the front grill. The model series is printed on the rear-side panels, and the serial number can be found on a label inside the glove box, inside the hood compartment, and below the driver’s seat. The serial range of the recalled Intimidator UTVs is 000000 to 014034. The serial range of the recalled Mahindra UTVs is 000000 to 010545.
The following UTVs are included in this recall:
