Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Arctic Cat is recalling approximately 5,600 Wildcat Trail and Wildcat Trail XT side-by-side utility vehicles from the 2014 model year. Oil can leak from the vehicle's oil cooler lines, which creates a serious fire hazard. Arctic Cat has already received 60 reports of oil leaks and one report of a fire, though no injuries have been reported. These vehicles were sold in various colors including red, green, lime green, team arctic green, and matte black, and owners should contact a dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The oil cooler lines can leak oil onto hot engine components, which can cause the vehicle to catch fire while in use. Owners should not operate these vehicles until the necessary repair is performed to prevent the risk of fire and potential injury.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle's identification number (VIN) to see if it falls within the range 000001 through 316232. The VIN is located on the frame tube near the driver's side front wheel.
  2. Verify the model name on your vehicle; the words 'Arctic Cat' and 'Wildcat Trail' are printed on the sides of the vehicle and on the hood.
  3. Stop using the recalled side-by-side utility vehicles immediately if your VIN is included in this recall.
  4. Contact an Arctic Cat dealer to schedule a free repair of the oil cooler lines.
