What happened

Arctic Cat is recalling all 2002 model ATVs in red or green with the Arctic Cat brand name on both sides. The affected models include the 250, 300, 300 Massey Ferguson, 375, 400, 400i, 500, TBX 500, and 500i. These vehicles have a defective pressure switch in the braking system that can leak fluid, which may cause brake failure and create a risk of serious injury or death.

Consumers who own a 2002 Arctic Cat ATV should contact Arctic Cat to determine if their vehicle is part of this recall. To do so, they should have their ATV's model name (located on the front just below the speedometer) and 13-digit model number (found in the registration materials from purchase) ready. If the ATV is recalled, the consumer should contact their local Arctic Cat ATV dealer to schedule a free repair.
