The Lil Pick Up ATV recall affects about 700 Sierra 125U Youth All-Terrain Vehicles because of serious crash, collision, and burn hazards. The recalled youth ATVs may violate federal safety requirements, which means families should check their ATV immediately and stop use if it matches the recall details.
The Lil Pick Up ATV recall is especially important for parents, grandparents, and caregivers because the recalled vehicles are youth ATVs. Even if the ATV looks normal or has been used without a problem, it should still be checked against the official recall details.
If your child, grandchild, or another young rider uses a youth ATV, this is a recall to check right away. The recalled ATVs should not be used while you are waiting for more information, a return pickup, or a refund. CPSC says consumers should stop using the recalled youth ATVs immediately and contact Lil Pick Up for a full refund.
What Is Included in the Lil Pick Up ATV Recall?
This recall involves Sierra 125U Youth All-Terrain Vehicles, also called youth ATVs. According to CPSC, the recalled ATVs were sold under various brand names, including “Rider 9.” The model name “Sierra 125U” is located on the VIN plate on the front frame column.
The recalled ATVs were sold in several colors, including:
Red
Blue
Black
Pink
Gray
Spider Red
Spider Blue
The ATVs also have a plate on the left front side of the frame column stating that the ATV is subject to Lil Pick Up Inc.’s Action Plan approved by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Why the Lil Pick Up ATV Recall Was Announced
The Sierra 125U youth ATVs are being recalled because they violate the federal mandatory ATV safety standard. CPSC says the ATVs fail to meet mechanical suspension requirements, the reverse indicator light may fail to illuminate, the parking brakes may fail to hold, and surfaces near the footwell can become hot enough to create a burn hazard.
That matters because this recall involves more than one concern. A reverse indicator light problem can increase the risk of a crash. Parking brakes that fail to hold can create a collision hazard. Hot surfaces near the footwell can cause severe burns. When the product is made for youth riders, those risks become even more concerning because children may not know how to recognize or react to a mechanical problem quickly.
Do not allow a child to ride the recalled ATV while you are checking the recall or waiting for refund instructions.
Lil Pick Up ATV Recall Checklist for Parents
Use this simple checklist before the ATV is used again:
- Look for the model name Sierra 125U.
- Check the VIN plate on the front frame column.
- Look for the name Rider 9 or another related brand name.
- Check whether the ATV color matches one of the recalled colors.
- Review when the ATV was purchased.
- Compare your ATV to the official CPSC recall notice.
- If it matches, stop using it immediately and contact Lil Pick Up for a refund.
This is especially important if the ATV was purchased online, from a local powersports dealer, or from another retailer between late 2025 and early 2026.
Where Were the Recalled ATVs Sold?
The recalled Sierra 125U youth ATVs were sold online and in stores at Cougar Cycle, Texas Star doing business as Flying Scooter, Vitacci Motorcycles, Dallas Power Sport, Tool Store Go-Kart Shop, and other retailers. They were sold from October 2025 through April 2026 for about $800 to $1,300.
The importer is Lil Pick Up Inc., of Rowland Heights, California. The ATVs were manufactured in Vietnam. The official CPSC recall number is 26-501.
What Should Consumers Do Now?
Consumers should stop using the recalled youth ATVs immediately and contact Lil Pick Up for a full refund. CPSC says consumers will be asked to register for the recall and receive instructions on how to return the recalled ATV. The return process includes free ATV pickup and transportation.
Lil Pick Up can be contacted by phone at 951-245-5663 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT, Monday through Friday. Consumers can also email contact@lilpickup.us or visit Lil Pick Up’s recall page through the official CPSC notice.
If you have one of these ATVs, do not try to repair it yourself. Do not keep riding it while waiting for an appointment. Do not let another child or family member use it “just one more time.” The safest step is to stop use and follow the official recall instructions.
Have Any Injuries Been Reported?
CPSC says no incidents or injuries have been reported in connection with this recall.
That is good news, but it does not mean the recall should be ignored. A recalled product can still be dangerous even before injuries are reported. In this case, the warning involves crash, collision, and burn hazards on a motorized vehicle intended for young riders.
Why Youth ATV Recalls Deserve Extra Attention
Youth ATVs are not regular toys. They are motorized vehicles, and when something goes wrong, a child may not have the experience, strength, or reaction time to handle the situation safely. That is why recalls involving youth ATVs need to be taken seriously.
Even if your child has used the ATV before without a problem, that does not mean the vehicle is safe to continue using. Mechanical problems, braking concerns, hot surfaces, and safety-standard violations are not always obvious from the outside. A recalled ATV may look normal, start normally, and ride normally until the wrong moment.
For families, the safest habit is to check recalls before allowing children to use motorized outdoor equipment, especially ATVs, scooters, mini bikes, go-karts, and similar riding products.
Do Not Sell, Donate, or Give Away the Recalled ATV
If your ATV is part of the Lil Pick Up ATV recall, do not sell it, donate it, trade it, or give it to another family. CPSC reminds consumers that federal law prohibits selling products that are subject to a CPSC recall.
The right move is to stop use, keep the ATV away from children, contact Lil Pick Up, and follow the refund and pickup instructions.
