Federal records list the affected scope as About 10,300 ATVs and 3,158 fuel pump kits and fuel tank assemblies (In addition, about 1,500 ATVs were sold in Canada).

The documented reason for this recall is: The ATV can leak fuel at the fuel pump flange outlet, posing a fire hazard and risk of serious injury to the rider or passenger. Distribution information was not included in the agency filing, so consumers should assume broad potential exposure until the firm publishes point-of-sale details. The remedy documented by the agency is: Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact an authorized Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair to replace the fuel pump at the dealer's location. Polaris is contacting r… - consumers holding this product should act on that instruction rather than relying on general guidance.
