Yamaha Rhino ATV is in the news because it has had problems rolling over and ejecting passengers.  

Yamaha Rhinos are more likely to be involved in rollover accidents than other ATVs.  This tends to occur, even at slower speed, when making turns.  Rollover accidents are very dangerous.  They result in severe injuries and wrongful deaths. The primary cause of the Yamaha Rhino problem is the narrow wheelbase and small wheels. 

What has Yamaha done to correct this problem?  They could have issued a recall.  Instead, Yamaha is trying to get away with just making modifications.  They claim that if doors are added to the ATV, it is safe enough.  Then, passengers would have handholds in place to hold onto while the vehicle rolls.

Is this enough?  We don't think so.  The suggested modifications will not stop the Yamaha Rhino ATV rolling over.  They merely trap the occupant in the ATV as it rolls over.  Serious injury or death could still occur if a rollover happens.

Are Yamaha's the only ATV to have this problem?  No!

Flaws in the design of many ATVs are at the heart of the problem—a large number of serious injuries.  Many lawsuits have been filed and it is expected that Yamaha could face hundreds of these claims.
