KYMCO Recalls ATVs Due to Burn, Fire Hazards (Recall Alert)

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

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.

Risk

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.

What You Should Do

  1. Immediately stop using the recalled KYMCO MXU 700, MXU 700 LE, or MXU 700 Camo ATVs.
  2. Identify your vehicle by checking the front of the hood or the rear fenders for the words 'KYMCO' and the model name 'MXU 700', 'MXU 700 LE', or 'MXU 700 Camo'.
  3. Locate your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the frame behind the right front wheel. Check if the 10th digit is 'D' (2013), 'E' (2014), or 'F' (2015).
  4. Confirm if your VIN's last six digits fall within these ranges: DB120111 through DB130158 (2013), EB120203 through EB130204 (2014), or FB120315 through FB320123 (2015).
  5. Contact an authorized KYMCO dealer to schedule a free repair. You must bring the vehicle to the dealer, and they will collect the original gas cap to confirm the repair is complete.
