POSTED: 2:54 p.m. EST November 12, 2003
Polaris Industries Inc., of Minneapolis, is recalling 14,000 all-terrain vehicles.
The company says damage to the fuel tank grommet of the recalled ATVs can cause a fuel leak, posing a serious fire hazard to consumers. Polaris has received 265 reports of fuel leaks, including one report of a fire that damaged an ATV. No injuries have been reported.
The recall involves the Polaris model year 2003 and 2004 Magnum 330 4x4 and Magnum 330 Mossy Oak ATVs and model year 2004 Magnum 330 2x4, Trail Boss 330, ATP 330, and ATP 500 ATVs.
The recalled ATVs have the following model numbers, which can be found on the certification decal located on the front center body panel: A03CD32(AA)(AC), A04CD32(AA)(AB)(AC), A04CB32(AA)(FC), A04CA32(AA)(AB), A04JD32AA, and A04JD50(AA)(AB)(CA). The name "Polaris" is prominently displayed on the right and left side of the seat and/or on the side body panels.
Polaris dealers nationwide sold the ATVs from February 2003 through October 2003 for between $3,500 and $6,500.
Polaris will notify all consumers with the recalled models and will arrange for a free repair from their dealership or an authorized service center. For more information, consumers can contact the company at (800) POLARIS.
