Polaris is recalling about 3,800 Model Year 2020-2023 Sportsman 1000 S and Scrambler 1000 S All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) because static electricity can spark near the fuel tank. This electrostatic discharge can ignite spilled fuel during refueling, which has led to 16 reports of fire and one personal injury. The affected vehicles were sold in black, orange, gray, blue, and graphite colors with the model names printed on the chassis. Consumers should immediately stop using these vehicles and contact a Polaris dealer for a free repair to install new fuel filler neck clamps and covers.
