RECALLS FOR FIRE, EXPLOSIONS,
AND INJURY RISKS

SAFETY RECALLS

At least three recalls have been issued for dangerous ATV defects that can result in deadly accidents. Kawasaki and Polaris have issued recalls of various models this year due to fire hazards, and Textron issued a recall regarding safety restraints.

KAWASAKI RECALLS

A hairline fracture in the fuel line of certain models can result in an increased risk of fire. Kawasaki products have been recalled for years due to defects, including issues related to fires and explosions.

FIRE AND BURN HAZARDS

Riders and passengers of specific Polaris models have an increased risk of burns and other injuries because of defective parts that can cause fire and burn hazards. There have been at least 47 fires reported to Polaris that resulted in injuries and melted or burned parts. Polaris has issued numerous recalls during the past few years for fire and explosion risks.

PAIN AND EMOTIONAL SUFFERING

Manufacturers and others can and must be held accountable when dangerous ATVs are placed on the market. In addition to the physical pain and emotional suffering caused by fire and explosion accidents, victims and their families can incur substantial financial damages.
