Ricky Powersports is recalling Tumble Weed youth ATVs (for ages 6+) and TGB Blade 600 SE adult ATVs sold at Ricky Powersports dealers nationwide. They fail federal ATV safety rules: the youth model's suspension poses a crash hazard, and the adult model's brakes may not stop it sufficiently and its handlebars pose a laceration hazard.

What to do

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

Contact: Ricky Powersports toll-free at 844-250-2199 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday, email at RickyPowerSports@gmail.com, or online at www.Rickypowersports.net/Recall or www.RickyPowerSports.net and click on the "RECALL" button at the top of the page for more information.

Official notice

CPSC's own wording, unchanged.

Hazard

The recalled ATVs fail to comply with the requirements of the federal mandatory ATV safety regulations. The youth ATVs' mechanical suspension fails to comply with safety requirements, posing a crash hazard. The adult ATVs' service brakes fail to sufficiently stop the vehicle, posing a crash hazard, and the handlebars pose a laceration hazard if the adult rider's body or head impacts the handlebars. ATVs that fail to meet the mandatory safety regulations pose a risk of serious injury or death.

Sold at

Ricky Powersports dealers nationwide from January 2021 through May 2024 for between $850 and $1,100 for the youth model, and for about $9,300 for the adult model.
