The problem
Mahindra Tractor Assembly Inc. (Mahindra) is recalling certain model year 2015-2016 GenZe 2.0 and Enterprise 1 scooters manufactured October 2, 2015, to July 11, 2016. The front forks of the affected scooters may not be properly tightened within the steering mounts and, as a result, the fork tubes may move affecting low speed maneuverability.
The risk
If the fork tubes move and affect the maneuverability or the turning radius of the scooter, it can increase the risk of a crash.

Mahindra will notify owners and new bolts and washers to ensure proper clamp force will be installed, free of charge. The recall began September 14, 2016. Owners may contact Mahindra customer service at 1-888-808-9526.
