05- Fuel System#2018153
2,607 units affected
On certain ATV and side-by-side UTV’s, the material of the fuel pump flange assembly (PFA) could degrade over time and may crack. In some circumstances, if the PFA material were to crack, it could result in a fuel leak, which in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will install a protective fuel pump cover to shield the PFA from contamination.
- Fuel System#2017101
914 units affected
On certain side-by-side UTV’s, the engine may misfire and cause unburned fuel to be routed into the exhaust system. This could result in excessive exhaust heat that may pose a fire hazard which could cause injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will update the ECU with software that includes misfire detection. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to not operate their vehicle until the defect has been repaired.
- Brakes#2017100
1,771 units affected
On certain side-by-side UTVs, the front brake circuit seal may be swollen due to an error in manufacturing. This could result in unintended brake drag, which could affect vehicle acceleration and cause undesired deceleration, produce excessive brake heat, and premature wear to brake components and could increase the risk of a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will check the date code of the master cylinder, and if it falls within the suspect date range, dealers will inspect the master cylinder for contamination and will replace the brake master cylinder as necessary. Note: In the interim, owners are advised to not operate their vehicle until the defect has been repaired.
- Engine#2016170
8,832 units affected
Certain side-by-side UTVs may have been assembled with heat shields that do not meet the manufacturer's standards. This could result in the cab or cargo box overheating which may pose a fire hazard causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the heat shields which will provide additional protection, and improved protection from flammable liquid spills in the vehicle cargo box that may pose a separate fire hazard.
- Fuel System#2016167
7,765 units affected
On certain side-by-side UTVs, the fuel tank vent line could be kinked or misrouted near hot exhaust components. A kinked fuel tank vent line can cause the fuel tank to build pressure and expand. This expansion may cause the fuel tank to come into contact with the spinning prop shaft, which could lead to a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. A misrouted fuel vent line may come in contact with hot exhaust components could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank vent line with a revised part and ensure proper routing and restraint. They will also inspect the fuel tank to ensure that no damage is present, and will repair as necessary. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2015-420. Vehicles repaired under the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
