KYMCO recalls 2013-2015 MXU 700 ATVs due to fuel cap failure in hot environments causing burns or fires. Affected vehicles have specific VIN ranges and model years.
In hot environments or high elevations, the fuel cap can fail to vent properly, causing the fuel to heat up and pressure to build up in the tank. The pressure can cause the fuel tank to rupture or the fuel to boil out of the tank onto the operator or hot engine, resulting in burns to the operator or a fire.
