Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Bobcat Company is recalling approximately 2,700 model year 2015 through 2018 Bobcat 3400 and 3400XL gas-powered utility vehicles. The exhaust header pipe on these vehicles can crack, which allows hot exhaust to escape and pose burn and fire hazards. Bobcat has received seven reports of cracked exhaust pipes, though no injuries or fires have been reported at this time. These white and black vehicles were sold at Bobcat dealers nationwide from August 2014 through July 2018 for between $10,000 and $15,000. Consumers should contact an authorized dealer for a free repair.

Risk

The exhaust header pipe can develop cracks during use, allowing hot gases to escape near other components. This creates a risk of the vehicle catching fire or causing burn injuries to occupants.
