Issue
On certain side-by-side UTVs, the fuel tank vent line could be kinked or misrouted near hot exhaust components. A kinked fuel tank vent line can cause the fuel tank to build pressure and expand. This expansion may cause the fuel tank to come into contact with the spinning prop shaft, which could lead to a fuel leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. A misrouted fuel vent line may come in contact with hot exhaust components could result in a fire causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the fuel tank vent line with a revised part and ensure proper routing and restraint. They will also inspect the fuel tank to ensure that no damage is present, and will repair as necessary. Note: This recall supersedes recall 2015-420. Vehicles repaired under the previous recall will require re-inspection and repair.
