HiPer Technology Recalls ATV Wheels

July 5, 2005
HiPer Technology is recalling about 875 9-inch ATV wheels with aluminum center sections. The aluminum center section of the wheel can come apart causing the tire and rim to unexpectedly separate from the ATV, posing a risk of serious injury if the rider loses control of the vehicle.

HiPer has 12 reports of wheel center section breakage and separation.

The recalled 9-inch ATV aftermarket rear wheels have a model number of 0990 YHR. The rear wheels were manufactured from February 15, 2005 through May 2005. The recalled wheel can be used as the rear wheel on ATVs having the following bolt patterns: four bolts on a 110mm circle or four bolts on a 115mm circle. The center section of the wheel is made of aluminum and has eight bolt holes.

ATV dealers and HiPer Technology sold the wheels from February 2005 through May 2005 for about $190.
