Can-Am · All terrain vehicles (ATV) - Can-Am DS90X - tether engine shutoff switch

The product poses a risk of injuries because the engine may fail to switch off when pulling the cord from the accessory tether engine shutoff switch post installed on these race-ready vehicles. If this occurs in situations where the rider is ejected, the vehicle may run away uncontrolled until the engine returns to idle. This may lead to the vehicle to collide with bystanders, a fixed object or other vehicles resulting in injuries.
