Why it was recalled
According to the CPSC notice, the identified hazard is: The Cannondale "FX 400" and Cannondale "Cannibal" are four-wheeled all-terrain vehicles (ATVs).

Cannondale appears on the rear fenders and bodywork of the vehicle; "Cannibal" appears roughly inboard of the operator's knee location; "FX400" appears on the seat of the vehicle. Hazards: The ball joints in the A-arm assembly on these vehicles can break, which could cause the front wheels to lose stability.
