WASHINGTON - American Honda Motor Co. is recalling about
200,000 all-terrain vehicles after receiving more than two dozen reports of

The Torrance, Calif., company has not received any injury reports related to
its 2004 and 2005 FourTrax ATVs, the Consumer Product Safety Commission said
Thursday.
Honda motorcycle dealers nationwide sold the ATVs, which were made in the
United States and came in red, olive, yellow or blue, from August 2003 to
February 2005 for $3,600 to $8,000.
Recalled model numbers:
• 2005 TRX250TE/TM
• 2004-2005 TRX350FE/FM/TE/TM
• 2004-2005 TRX400FA/FGA
• 2005 TRX500FE/FM/TM
• 2005 TRX500FA/FGA
• 2005 TRX650FA/FGA
Consumers are urged to stop riding the ATVs. The company will directly contact
registered owners and provide free repair, the CPSC said. More information is
available by calling Honda at 866-784-1870, weekdays 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Arizona
