Polaris Recalls 14,000 ATVs Due to Fuel Leak Fire Hazard

Plain-English summary

Polaris Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 14,000 model year 2003 and 2004 Magnum, Trail Boss, and ATP all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). The recall involves specific models including the Magnum 330 4x4, Magnum 330 Mossy Oak, Magnum 330 2x4, Trail Boss 330, ATP 330, and ATP 500. Affected units can be identified by model numbers A03CD32(AA)(AC), A04CD32(AA)(AB)(AC), A04CB32(AA)(FC), A04CA32(AA)(AB), A04JD32AA, and A04JD50(AA)(AB)(CA) found on the certification decal on the front center body panel.
