Plymouth, Minnesota-based CFMOTO Powersports Inc. is recalling about 3,630 units of ZFORCE 950 recreational off-highway vehicles or ROVs citing crash and tip-over risks, according to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

The recall involves 2022-2023 CFMOTO ZFORCE 950 HO Sport Side-by-Side ROVs sold in gray, orange, and tan colors.

The vehicles, manufactured in China, were sold at CFMOTO dealers across the United States from March 2022 through June 2024 for about $14,000.

The agency noted that the shock absorber rod assembly can unthread and detach, causing suspension collapse. This could result in crash and tip-over hazards to the rider.

The recall was initiated after CFMOTO Powersports received around 86 reports of incidents in which the shock absorber failed and the suspension collapsed, including one tip-over which resulted in impact injury to the ribs.

Consumers are urged to immediately stop using the recalled ROVs, and contact an authorized CFMOTO dealer for a free repair.

In similar recalls, Augusta, Georgia-based Textron Specialized Vehicles in May called back about 10,300 units of Prowler Pro and Tracker UTVs citing fire risk, as well as about 2,670 units of Arctic Cat Model Year 2024 Catalyst Snowmobiles citing risk of crash.
