Latest recall from Polaris. I happened by this in the ATV Forum here..

Published Thursday, February 14, 2008

MEDINA, Minn. (AP) - Nearly 100,000 Polaris all-terrain vehicles are being voluntarily recalled because of concerns about overheating and fires.

The apparent problems are in the electronic control modules on some models of the company's ATVs. The part controls the ignition and fuel injection.

The recall was announced Thursday by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. It says consumers should stop using the recalled ATVs immediately.

The recall involves several 2005 and 2006 model Polaris Sportsman and Scrambler 500 ATVs. Polaris dealers sold them from mid-2004 through last month for up to $7,900.

The commission advises consumers to disconnect the black cable from the battery when the ATV is not in use and then contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair.

The commission says Medina-based Polaris is supporting the recall.

The company has received 372 reports of smoking and or melting control panels since June 2005, when 45,000 of the ATVs were recalled.
