Broken steering wheel on bx24

bx24 · 10-06-2007, 09:44 PM

I was motoring around today on my machine and felt something sharp on the steering wheel. I look down only to find the steering wheel broke! The plastic looks kind of funny inside so maybe it was a week spot, but boy did that surprise me.

The machine is 21 months old .... now I get to find out if it is covered (I would expect it is but ....)

Should be covered, mine is a 24 month no hour limit bumper to bumper waranty. As long as they don't see an axe dent on it or something should be OK

Must have been made on Monday. Last one poured just before coffee!

I had an oddly shaped wheel on my L3130. It wasn't quite round and that bugged me. It wasn't "defective", so I couldn't get a warranty replacement. I finally ordered a new one on my own dime. I forget how much, a hundred bucks or so. Then, I couldn't get the old one off! I had to buy a special wheel puller tool! Good luck with yours.

Haven't heard of that either but I have heard of broken steering wheels on the Yamaha Rhino UTVs. Hmmm...both Japanese companies, both machines built in Georgia USA....its a conspiracy I tell ya
