Plain-English summary

Polaris Industries Inc. is recalling approximately 2,100 Gravely Atlas JSV 3000 and 6000 gas-engine-powered utility vehicles. The recall covers model years 2015 through 2018. These vehicles were sold in red and feature one or two rows of seats and a rear box with "Gravely" printed on it and "Atlas" on the hood.

The recall is necessary because the utility vehicle's exhaust header pipe can crack, which poses fire and burn hazards. Gravely has received seven reports of cracked header exhaust pipes, but no injuries have been reported.

The affected vehicles were sold at Gravely dealers nationwide from September 2014 through July 2018 for between $13,000 and $15,700. Consumers should contact an authorized Gravely dealer for a free repair. If the exhaust system becomes noisier, consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles. Gravely is also contacting all known purchasers directly.
