Plain-English summary

Polaris Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 53,000 model year 2015 Polaris RZR recreational off-highway vehicles (ROV). The affected models include the RZR 900, RZR S 900, RZR 900 XC, RZR 4 900, RZR XP 1000, and RZR XP4 1000. These vehicles were sold by Polaris dealers nationwide from July 2014 through August 2015.

The recall is due to a fire hazard. The vehicles' fuel tank vent line can be misrouted, causing it to become pinched. This can cause the fuel tank to pressurize and leak fuel. Polaris has received four reports of RZR 900s with fuel leaks and two reports of the vehicles catching on fire, one of which included a minor burn injury to a consumer. The company received 25 reports of RZR 1000s with fuel leaks, with no injuries reported for those models.

Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact their local Polaris dealer to schedule a free repair. Polaris is contacting its customers directly and sending a recall letter to each registered owner. For more information, consumers can contact Polaris toll-free at 888-704-5290 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CT Monday through Friday or visit www.polaris.com.
