Noting that “a fuel leak can occur at the fuel pump outlet connector on the fuel tank near a hot surface, posing a fire hazard,” CPSC has recalled more than 12,000 Polaris Off-Road Vehicles, Bobcat and Gravely Utility Vehicles. The fuel pump kits and fuel tank assemblies are mostly plastic, and the fuel pump sits inside of the fuel tank. Approximately 12,300 units are included in the CPSC recall. Additionally about 517 were sold in Canada.
This recall involves certain VINs of Model Year 2021-2023 Polaris RANGER 1000, 1000 Crew, XP 1000, XP 1000 Crew; Model Year 2021-2022 Polaris RZR Pro XP (2-Seat Only); Model Year 2021 Polaris Pro XD Full-Size Gas; Model Year 2021-2022 Polaris Pro XD Full Size Gas Crew; Model Year 2021 Bobcat UV34 Gas and UV34 XL Gas; Model Year 2022 Bobcat UV34 Gas; Model Year 2022-2023 Bobcat UV34 XL Gas; Model Year 2021 Gravely Atlas JSV 3400; Model Year 2021 and 2023 Gravely Atlas JSV 6400 off-road vehicles; Fuel Pump Kits with part number 2208123 and Fuel Tank Assemblies with part numbers 2521943, 2522060 and 2522267 sold by Polaris and Fuel Pump Kits with part number 7396260 sold by Bobcat.
This is a case of the proverbial abundance of caution as Polaris has only received three reports of fuel leaks. No fires or injuries have been reported.
