Every line below is in CPSC’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Water can enter the throttle position sensor and freeze, causing permanent damage if the rider forces the throttle lever. This could cause the throttle to stick open, posing a risk of injury or death to riders.
