The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission announced that BRP is recalling about 13,300 2018 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade ATVs. Fuel can spray from the fuel tank when opening the gas cap, posing a fuel leak and fire hazard.
This recall involves model year 2018 Can-Am Outlander and Renegade ATVs sold in a variety of colors. Can-Am and the model name are printed on the side panels of the vehicles. The vehicle identification number (VIN) is printed on the frame under the seat in the middle and on the frame behind the right front wheel.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled vehicles and contact a BRP Can-Am ATV dealer for a free repair. BRP is contacting all known purchasers directly.
The firm has received six reports of fuel spraying out of the fuel tank. No injuries or fires have been reported.
The ATVs were sold at Can-Am dealers nationwide from June 2017 through June 2018 for between $6,000 and $16,500.
The units were manufactured in Mexico and imported by BRP U.S. Inc., of Sturtevant, Wisconsin.
