Recalled ATV

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.
