Hisun 250cc Utility Vehicles Recalled for Fire Hazard

Hisun Motors is recalling about 2,500 Sector 250cc and RK Performance 250cc utility vehicles sold at Rural King stores nationwide from November 2014 through June 2021 because grass can accumulate near the exhaust pipe and pose a fire hazard. The company has received five reports of vehicle fires but no injuries.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: Although five vehicle fires have been reported, no injuries or deaths are documented in the source. The hazard is real and active (fires reported), but because the rule specifies that when no illnesses or injuries are reported and the hazard is theoretical, the score is at most 3. Five actual fire incidents elevate this to High rather than Moderate.
