CPSC, Kawasaki Motors Corp. U.S.A. Announce Recall of All-Terrain Vehicles
07561 · Recalled 2007-06-28 · CPSC page
Description
The recalled ATVs are the 2008 model year Kawasaki KFX450R. These ATVs are available in white, green, or black, and have "Kawasaki" and "KFX450R" on the front bodywork below the handlebars.
Hazards
The flange, which holds the fuel pump in the fuel tank, can fail to stay connected to the tank itself. This can create a fuel leak, which poses a fire hazard to consumers.
Reported injuries
Kawasaki has received 60 reports of fuel leaks, though no injuries have been reported.
Remedy
Consumers should immediately stop using the ATV and contact their authorized Kawasaki dealer to arrange for installation of a free replacement fuel tank.
