Vehicle then entered into approximately 6 inches of mud so engaged the feature called diff loc at that point my axle broke front left then front right after I finally removed my atv from this section of trail and inspected damage I left the woods and on the way to my vehicle broke a third axle on the right rear now im am told that there is a superior axle being made by gorilla but I don't believe with the amount of customer complaints on axles for yamaha grizzly 660 atv that this is not a manufacturer defect furthermore I do not see any articles on the other top manufactures about their axles having these problems which are being driven in same conditions and circumstances I was riding in that day I would like a company recall or I will never purchase another piece of equipment or even a part from yamaha.
