What happened

American Honda is recalling all 2014 Honda Pioneer 700 recreational off-highway vehicles (ROVs) due to a fire hazard. Vegetation and debris can accumulate on the middle skid plate and come into contact with the vehicle's exhaust system. When this dried debris ignites, it can result in smoke or fire. The recall affects two-seat and four-seat models in black with camouflage, olive, or red hood and trim pieces.

Owners can identify their vehicle by the "HONDA" badge on the front grill and rear tail gate, "Pioneer 700" marking on the vehicle's sides behind the front seats, and the model and serial number on a certification label in the top rear of the driver's side front wheel well. According to the recall, owners should immediately stop using the vehicle and take it to an authorized Honda dealer to have the original middle skid plate removed and an updated middle skid plate installed at no charge.
