- Vehicles: POLARIS OUTLAW. Units affected: 23
- Reason
- It has been identified that subject machines were manufactured with petcock valve mounting inserts that may become loose due to an imperfect fit of the threads of the petcock valve and the fuel tank mounting area. If a brass mounting insert becomes loose or is pulled from the base of the fuel tank a fuel leak may develop. This can result in a fire hazard. Remedy: Recalled machines will have the fuel tank replaced with a unit which incorporates changes to the petcock valve.
