Parents warned to stop using recalled youth ATVs over crash and burn risks

Parents are urged to stop using recalled Sierra 125U youth ATVs due to crash and burn risks identified by the CPSC. About 700 vehicles are being recalled after reports of suspension, reverse light, and parking brake failures, with hot surfaces near the footwell presenting burn hazards. The VIN plate on the front frame column reads Sierra 125U and the recall is labeled 26-501, with Lil Pick Up’s action plan approved by the CPSC. The ATVs were sold in multiple colors from October 2025 through April 2026 at retailers including Cougar Cycle, Texas Star, Vitacci, Dallas Power Sport and others, priced roughly from $800 to $1,300. No injuries were reported at the time. Full refunds are available via lilpickup.us, and pickup is free.
