Yamaha Rhino Safety Alert

Yamaha announced a SAFETY ALERT to the owners of all Yamaha Rhino in September of 2006. The Alert read as follows:
While the Rhino has been a reliable and versatile vehicle, some operators have engaged in aggressive driving (such as sliding, skidding, fishtailing, or doing donuts) or made abrupt maneuvers (such as turning the steering wheel too far or too fast) that have resulted in side rollovers - even on flat, open areas. Unfortunately, some occupants have been seriously injured during such rollovers when they put their arms or legs outside the vehicle, resulting in crushing or other injuries. Special Offer to Rhino Owners -Yamaha has developed new doors and additional passenger handholds for the Rhino. These new features, as shown in the pictures below, are designed to help keep occupants from sticking arms or legs out of the vehicle in response to a side rollover. They may also enhance passenger stability and comfort. Yamaha recommends that Rhino owners have these doors and handholds installed on their Rhino vehicles..."

We believe that Yamaha knew that the Rhino was rolling over at an alarming rate in testing and early sales. It is our opinion that a Yamaha Rhino Recall should have been instituted to correct the stability issues.

Yamaha Rhino Rollover Lawsuit

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to a Yamaha Rhino rolling over and causing severe crushing injuries, amputation or death, call the Law Firm of Carabin & Shaw, P.C. for a Free and Confidential Consultation. Yamaha, the maker of the Rhino built a dangerous product that is considered unstable, prone to rollover, lacked proper warnings, lacked sufficient doors, hand grips /hand holds and other safety designs. As such, we believe this side by side ATV is dangerous. We believe that all injured parties have a legal right to bring a product liability lawsuit against Yamaha for their injuries and losses.
