Yamaha Motor Corp. USA has recalled Rhino 450, 660, 700 ATVs. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission determined that at least 46 deaths have been reported due to the faulty product design. Even at low speeds, the ATVs are prone to rolling over. The LA Times article states that:
The two-passenger Rhino has a built-in roll cage, but a narrow wheelbase and an anti-sway bar that can lift the rear tires off the ground during slow turns have caused many accidents.
More than two-thirds of the reported accidents were rollovers, many involving turns at low speeds and on level terrain, the commission statement said.
