Summary

Ride the Ducks International LLC (RTDI) is recalling certain 1996-2005 "Stretch" Amphibious Passenger Vehicles.

Consequence

A loss of vehicle control can increase the risk of a crash.

RTDI will notify the company-owned operators and licensors will replace the front axles with one with a coupler welded to the axle, free of charge. The recall began on September 21, 2017. RTDI customer service can be contacted at 1-417-266-7600. Note: This recall supersedes recall 16V-859.
