Polaris Rzr: Risk Of Fire

Polaris RZR Recall Summary Polaris is recalling 118 RZR vehicles because the fuel tank vent line may be routed too close to the exhaust pipe, causing it to kink. A kinked vent line can build pressure in the fuel tank, potentially causing it to leak fuel onto the spinning prop shaft, which creates a fire hazard. Owners of affected vehicles should stop using them until the vent line is inspected and rerouted if necessary.

A kinked vent line can cause the fuel tank to build pressure and expand. The expansion of the fuel tank may result in contact of the spinning prop shaft which may result in a fuel leak.
