What owners report
Short excerpts of NHTSA complaints in the original wording. These are owner statements not verified by NHTSA; personal data removed.
I was driving on my property with my family and a friend to show them the property we just purchased. I was driving on a road that I have driven down hundreds of times before at around 5 mph when a pine branch about 2 inches around broke through my floorboard.
I was riding my teryx 4 on a grass farm path and something either stick or rock kicked up from the front tire and broke through my floorboards. Kawasaki is aware of the problem and has changed the floorboard design and added metal guard plates however they are not recalling the defective floorboard.
While driving on a trail in tennessee, I heard something hit the passenger floor board and sure as the world there was a hole in my passenger side floor board where a small stick had broke through!!!!!!! Luckily, nobody was hurt!!!!!!
