American Honda is recalling about 15,400 of its 2014 Pioneer 700 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) because vegetation and debris can get stuck on the middle skid plate and catch fire from contact with the exhaust system. There have been 10 reports of fires caused by this debris accumulation. These black off-road vehicles come in two-seat and four-seat models with camouflage, olive, or red trim. Affected owners should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a dealer for a free replacement skid plate.
Dried grass or debris can collect on the vehicle's middle skid plate and ignite when it touches the hot exhaust system. This can cause the vehicle to smoke or catch fire while in use, which led to 10 reported fire incidents.
Owners should immediately stop using the recalled vehicle and take it to an authorized Honda dealer to have the original middle skid plate removed and an updated middle skid plate installed free of charge.
