Polaris Recalls ATVs Due to Fire Hazard

About 4,700 2009 Model Year Polaris All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) manufactured by Polaris Industries Inc., are being recalled because the valve assembly can fail in freezing temperatures, causing oil to leak into the exhaust system. This could pose a fire and burn hazard to the rider.

The firm has received 6 reports of the valve assembly failing in freezing temperatures, resulting in 3 small fires. Minor fire damage to air boxes, ignition coils and the seat were reported.

This recall involves the Polaris ATVs with model year 2009. The ATVs were sold under market names Sportsman ESP XP 850 and Sportsman XP 850 ATVs. The model and serial number identification decal is located on the left side of the machine on the frame rail below the front fender.

ATVs were sold at Polaris dealers nationwide from September 2008 through June 2009 for about $9000.
