Kubota is recalling about 11,500 model year 2013, 2014, and 2015 RTV-X1100C series diesel-powered utility vehicles. Combustible debris can build up and touch the exhaust manifold, causing it to ignite and create a fire hazard. Kubota has received seven reports of debris-related fires, though no injuries have been reported. These orange or camouflage vehicles were sold at authorized Kubota dealers nationwide from October 2013 through October 2015. Owners should stop using the vehicles and contact a dealer for a free inspection and repair.
Debris such as grass or leaves can accumulate near the engine and touch the hot exhaust manifold, causing the debris to catch fire. This poses a significant fire hazard to the vehicle and occupants, with seven fires already reported.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled utility vehicles, park them away from combustible materials and contact an authorized Kubota dealer for a free inspection and free repair and should follow their directions. Kubota is contacting consumers directly.
