KYMCO is recalling about 540 of its 2013, 2014, and 2015 MXU 700 all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), including the standard, LE, and Camo versions. In hot weather or at high altitudes, the fuel cap can fail to vent properly, causing pressure to build up inside the tank. This pressure can lead to the tank rupturing or fuel boiling out onto the rider or hot engine parts. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact an authorized KYMCO dealer for a free repair, which includes a fuel cap replacement. These vehicles were sold at KYMCO dealers nationwide from April 2013 to August 2014 for approximately $9,000.
The fuel cap's failure to vent can cause fuel to overheat and pressure to build until the tank ruptures or boiling fuel splashes onto the operator or the engine, resulting in severe burns or a vehicle fire.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled ATVs and contact an authorized KYMCO dealer for a free repair. The original gas caps must be collected by the dealer to confirm the repair.

KYMCO MXU 700 LE model years 2013 and 2014 came in silver. Model year 2015 came in gold.
