Kubota is recalling approximately 970 RTV500 model off-road utility vehicles equipped with cabs because carbon monoxide can build up inside the cabin when the engine is idling and the vehicle is stationary. This recall affects gasoline-powered 4x4 vehicles with side-by-side seating for two people, available in orange or camouflage. Two people have reported suffering from headaches caused by the gas. Kubota is providing a free repair that includes installing a high-velocity exhaust tail pipe and new seals.
Carbon monoxide gas can accumulate within the enclosed cab during idling, posing a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning to the driver and passenger. Two instances of headaches attributed to gas exposure have already been reported.
Consumers should contact their Kubota dealer to schedule a free repair of the recalled vehicle, including the installation of a high-velocity exhaust tail pipe, the installation of special seals inside the cab and a check of the ventilating system.
