CPSC, Kawasaki Motors Corp. U.S.A. Announce Recall of All-Terrain Vehicles
Fire
The hazard
The flange, which holds the fuel pump in the fuel tank, can fail to stay connected to the tank itself. This can create a fuel leak, which poses a fire hazard to consumers.
Incidents reported: Kawasaki has received 60 reports of fuel leaks, though no injuries have been reported.
What to do now
Consumers should immediately stop using the ATV and contact their authorized Kawasaki dealer to arrange for installation of a free replacement fuel tank.
Contact: Call Kawasaki at (866) 802-9381 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:45 p.m. PT Monday through Friday, or visit www.kawasaki.com
