POLARIS RECALL OF SELECT MODEL YEAR ATVs FOR FIRE HAZARD
Staff
The CPSC and Polaris Industries of Medina, Minnesota, announced the voluntary product safety recall of an additional 45,000 Polaris All Terrain Vehicles made in the United States. Customers should stop using the product immediately.
This expansion of the 15,000 Polaris ATV recall announced on May 3, 2005 includes several additional models, affecting about 45,000 additional units.
The models involved in this expanded recall are: Polaris Model Year 2004.5 Sportsman 500, Model Year 2005 Sportsman 400, Sportsman 500, Sportsman 600, Sportsman 700, Sportsman 6x6, Scrambler 500, Trail Boss and Magnum 330 ATVs.
Some 2004.5 and 2005 Model Year Sportsman, Scrambler 500 ATVs, Trail Boss and Magnum 330 ATVs were assembled with possibly defective Electronic Control Modules (ECM) which may fail and overheat. If this were to occur, excessive heat could cause a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Polaris has received 68 reports of the ECM overheating. No injuries have been reported.
Only select model year Polaris ATVs are part of this recall. The Sportsman ATV model and serial number identification decal is located on the front side of the front radiator covering. The Scrambler 500 ATV model and serial number identification decal is located on top of the front cab cover.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), or serial number is also permanently stamped into the left frame rail behind the left front wheel of all Polaris ATVs. Affected units can be verified by comparing the last six digits of the VIN to the serial number range in bold typed below. NOTE: Not all 2004.5 and 2005 model year vehicles are affected.
