Bush Hog LLC is recalling about 850 Bush Hog off-road utility vehicles. The throttle cable can lock in freezing temperatures. This can cause the engine not to return to idle when the driver takes his or her foot off the accelerator pedal, posing a risk of loss of vehicle control and injury to the driver and passenger.
Bush Hog has received one report of an incident involving a frozen throttle cable on a utility vehicle. No injuries have been reported.
The recall includes the Bush Hog Models TH4400 (Trail Hand) and 4430 4X4 Off-Road Utility Vehicles. Bush Hog is printed on the utility vehicles cargo bed tail gate and on each side of the cargo bed. Model TH4400or 4430 is printed on each side of the hood. The hood color is red, green, or mossy oak.
