Reason the product is recalled
The fuel tank may build excessive pressure due to a blocked vent.
The hazards to consumers
This may cause fuel to spray on occupants or bystanders when opening the fuel cap, potentially causing injury. Additionally, if an ignition source was present, this could create a risk of fire, causing injury and/or damage to property.
What consumers should do
Consumers should contact their nearest authorized Can-Am ATV dealer to schedule an appointment for a repair to the vehicle.
