Utility Vehicle Recalled Due to Fire Hazard
August 5, 2016
Polaris Ranger 570 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) have been recalled by the manufacturer. Any combination of high outdoor temperatures, heavy engine loading, or slow-speed intermittent use can cause the units to catch on fire, according to U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC).
The company has received seven reports of Ranger units overheating and catching on fire, with no injuries reported, according to CPSC recall number 16-755.
About 43,000 2015 and 2016 Ranger units are affected by this recall. Models have either two or four seats, and a rear box, with "570" printed on the hood. They were sold between August 2014 and June 2016.
