Luyuan Inc. and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recalled two youth all-terrain vehicle models on December 11, 2025: the FRP Sahara and the X-Pro Eagle youth ATVs, sold under different brand names. The recalled ATVs have a suspension that fails a federal safety standard, plus a handlebar shape that can cut a rider, especially a child, in a crash or fall. Luyuan has received no injury reports so far. The recall is open, and Luyuan’s free repair offer described in the notice still stands. Parents should stop use immediately, check each ATV’s model label, and contact Luyuan for a free repair.

Latest Sahara ATV Recall Updates

December 11, 2025: CPSC Announces the Sahara ATV Recall

On December 11, 2025, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced a recall of about 2,290 Sahara and X-Pro Eagle youth ATVs, citing a suspension that fails the mandatory ATV safety standard and a handlebar laceration hazard[1]. Luyuan Inc., the importer, offers a free repair through an authorized shop. Check the CPSC’s public recall list for any status update beyond this announcement[2].

Which Sahara ATVs Are Affected?

Two youth all-terrain vehicles are covered by this recall. Check your ATV’s model number and body label against the list below:
  • FRP Sahara 40cc Youth ATV, Model SHR 40-RED-M: look for an “FRP” label on the front plastic cover and on both sides of the plastic body. It comes in various colors.
  • X-Pro Eagle 40cc Youth ATV, Model CARTOONS: look for an “X PRO” label on both sides of the seat and the plastic body.
Luyuan Inc. imported about 2,290 of these ATVs for sale in the United States. The FRP Sahara 40cc Youth ATV sold online at Amazon.com, Temu.com and Frpmoto.com from April through September 2025 for $460 to $480. The X-Pro Eagle 40cc Youth ATV sold online at Walmart.com, Powersportsmax.com and Xprousa.com from June through September 2025 for $480 to $500.

Why Were the Sahara ATVs Recalled?

The Sahara ATVs were recalled because their suspension does not meet the mandatory federal safety standard for all-terrain vehicles, creating a crash hazard for young riders. The recalled models also have handlebars that can cause a laceration if a child’s body or head strikes them during a high-speed impact, a separate hazard from the suspension defect. Yongkang Luyuan Industrial & Trading Co., Ltd. manufactures both ATVs in China, and Luyuan Inc. imports them into the United States for sale. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said both hazards together create a risk of serious injury or death, which is why it classified this as a mandatory-standard violation.

Reported Incidents, Injuries, or Illnesses

Luyuan Inc. and the CPSC reported no incidents, injuries or deaths linked to the Sahara ATV or the X-Pro Eagle ATV as of the recall announcement. A lack of reported incidents does not prove the hazard is unlikely. The suspension and handlebar defects the agency identified can cause serious injury or death, particularly in a crash or a high-speed fall involving a child rider. Because reports can arrive after a recall is announced, parents who notice a crash, a fall or a cut connected to either ATV model should tell Luyuan and the CPSC promptly, even if the injury seems minor.

What Should Consumers Do?

Parents and caregivers who have a Sahara ATV or an X-Pro Eagle ATV at home should take the following steps:
  1. Stop letting your child or anyone else ride the ATV immediately, even for a short trip.
  2. Check the plastic body and seat for an “FRP” or “X PRO” label to confirm which model you have.
  3. Contact Luyuan at 855-663-2121 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific time), by email at luyuanusa@gmail.com, or through luyuanusa.com, to arrange a free repair.
  4. Keep the ATV out of use until an authorized repair shop completes the repair.
  5. Report any crash, fall or injury to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s consumer hotline at 800-638-2772 (TTY 800-638-8270), even if it seems minor.
A documented defect that risks injury to child riders can support a product-liability claim if a child is later hurt. No lawsuit, class action or multidistrict case has been filed against Luyuan over this recall. The JPML‘s site lists no Sahara ATV, X-Pro Eagle or Luyuan entry[3]. A recall does not automatically establish liability or eligibility. A parent considering a claim should also keep records of the ATV, the purchase, and any related medical treatment notes.

Filing Deadlines

State law, not this recall, sets the deadlines for filing a product-liability claim. Those deadlines open a limited window after an injury during which a claim can still be filed. The deadlines vary with where the injured person lives and when the injury occurred. Some states start the clock when the injury is discovered rather than on the date of the accident. A missed filing deadline can end an otherwise strong claim, so anyone thinking about a claim should talk to a lawyer soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is There a Sahara ATV Recall Lawsuit or Class Action?

No lawsuit, class action or MDL has been filed over the Sahara ATV recall. As of September 25, 2026, the JPML’s MDL list had no entry for this product. A lawyer can confirm the current status before you assume none exists.

Is the Sahara ATV Recall Still Active?

Yes, as of September 25, 2026, the Sahara ATV recall remains active: the recall notice states no closure or expiration, and Luyuan continues to offer the free repair it describes.

What Should I Do If My Child Was Hurt on a Recalled ATV?

If your child was hurt on a recalled Sahara ATV or X-Pro Eagle ATV, seek medical care first. Then keep the ATV, photograph any damage, and save purchase and medical records, and report the incident to both Luyuan and the CPSC, since neither has received one yet.

What Compensation Could Be Available for a Sahara ATV Injury?

Compensation for a Sahara ATV injury under CPSC Recall No. 26-148 could include categories such as medical expenses, lost income and pain and suffering, depending on the case’s facts. No average or typical amount applies, and a recall alone does not guarantee any payout.

Is Amazon or Temu Responsible for Selling a Recalled ATV?

Amazon, Temu and other online marketplaces are not automatically responsible just because they listed one of these recalled youth ATVs. Whether a marketplace shares responsibility for a defective product depends on how the sale was structured and on state law, a question a product-liability review can help answer.

Do I Need a Lawyer for a Sahara ATV Recall Claim?

No, you do not need a lawyer for a Sahara ATV recall claim just to get Luyuan’s free repair under CPSC Recall No. 26-148. A lawyer becomes useful only if your child was hurt and you are weighing a product-liability claim.
